Jane Eyre

Annotation 26
"But he is in a better place, we shouldn't wish him here again. And then, nobody need to have a quiter death nor he had."
"No; not I. What can they do for you? You should not be roving about now; it looks very ill."
Alas! this isolation-this banishment from my own kind!
"All men must die," "but all are not condemned to meet a lingering and premature doom, such as yours would be it you perished here of want."
I saw there was pity in it, and I felt sympathy in her hurried breathing.
"My name is Jane Elliot."
"Strange hardships, I imagine--poor, emaciated, pallid wanderer!"
"She looks sensible but not at all handsome."
"The name, then, of that gentleman, is Mr. St. John Rivers?"

Jane comes to a house where the master has just died. The servant there is sends Jane away with nothing. Once again people have pushed Jane into isolation. While she is practically gonna collapse St. John is coming home and makes her come to. They ladies are very kind and take care of her, they never suspect her of anything only of having a hard time. Jane gives them a fake last name so they don't really know who she is. St. John doesn't seem to like her at all and even mentions that she is not a pretty person.
