                           Jane Eyre
                      Charlotte Bronte

 More than ten days elapsed before I had again any conversation
with her. She continued either delirious or lethargic; and the doctor
forbade everything which could painfully excite her. Meantime, I
got on as well as I could with Georgiana and Eliza. They were
very cold, indeed, at first. Eliza would sit half her day sewing, reading,
or writing, and scarcely utter a word either to me or her sister.
Georgiana would chatter nonsense to her canary bird by the hour,
and take no notice of me. But I was determined not to seem at a
lose for occupation or amusement: I had brought my drawing
materials with me, and they served me for both.


    More than a week passed by before I had seen or heard form her.
She continued either sad or depressed; and her mother wouldn't allow
me to see her. Meanwhile, I did as best as I could with Elizabeth and
Kitty. They were very boring, for sure, at first. Elizabeth would sit
her whole day reading, writing, and would hardly ever spend time to
play. Kitty would admire her self in the mirror for hours, and not
say anything to me at all. But I confident that they wouldn't ruin my
day: I had brought my ipod and gameboy with me, and they served me
very well.
