CD: Jane Eyre - Audio Book

There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.

We had been wandering, indeed, in the leafless shrubbery...

... an hour in the morning; but since dinner (Mrs. Reed, when there...

... was no company, dined early) the cold winter wind had brought with it...

... clouds so somber, and a rain so penetrating...

... that further out-door exercise was now out of the question.

I was glad of it: I never liked long walks, especially on chilly afternoons.

Dreadful to me was the coming home in the raw twilight...

... with nipped fingers and toes, and a heart saddened by...

... the chidings of Bessie, the nurse, and humbled by the consciousness...

... of my physical inferiority to Eliza, John, and Georgiana Reed.
