John, when I turned to him, was grinning from ear to ear.
“I telled Mary how it would be,” he said: “I knew what Mr. Edward” (John was an old rvant, and had known his master when he was the cadet of the hou, therefore, he often gave him his Christian name)—“I knew what Mr. Edward would do; and I was certain he would not wait long her:and he’s done right, for aught I know.
I wish you joy, Miss!” and he politely pulled his forelock.
“Thank you, John.
Mr. Rochester told me to give you and Mary this.”
I put into his hand a five-pound note.
Without waiting to hear more, I left the kit.
In passing the door of that sanctum some time after, I caught the words—
“She’ll happen do better for him nor ony o’t’ grand ladies.”
And again, “If she ben’t one o’ th’ handsomest, she’s noan faal and varry good-natured; and i’ his een she’s fair beautiful, onybody may e that.”
I wrote to Moor Hou and to Cambridge immediately, to say what I had done:fully explaining also why I had thus acted.
Diana and Mary approved the step unrervedly.
