Later that day, I received a letter which greatly surprised me.Mrs Reed, my aunt, was dying, and she wanted me to go and visit her.I set off at once on a long journey to her home.When I got there, I was told that my cousin John had died. My aunt was very ill.At first she could not speak to me.But one day, as I was sitting by her bed, she showed me a letter.It was from my father's brother, who lived in Madeira. This is what it said.
Dear Mrs Reed, I am looking for my brother's daughter, Jane Eyre.I am now a rich man, and I have no children of my own.I want Jane Eyre to live with me. Can you help me to find my niece?Yours sincerely John Eijre
I looked at the date on the letter. 'But Mrs Reed,' I said, 'this letter was sent three years ago.Why didn't you tell me about it before?'
'I never liked you, Jane Eyre,' my aunt replied.'I wrote a letter to your uncle, and I told him that you were dead.I told him you died at Lowood School. Now go away and leave me.'A few days afterwards, Mrs Reed died.I felt sad that she had disliked me until her death,and I felt glad to leave her house and return to Thornfield Hall.
