Mr. Rochester's face went white. For a few minutes, he did not speak. Finally I asked, "are you ill, sir?" "Jane, help me," he said. I helped him to sit down, and then sat next to him. He held my hand tightly. "Jane, I wish you and I were far away from here, with none of these terrible troubles to make me suffer." "How can I help you, sir? Pleas tell me what is wrong!" "Jane, I promise I'll ask you if I need help, but I cannot tell you anything now. Get me a glass of wine, please." I did what he asked. He looked less pale, but very stern. After a while he spoke. "Jane, if all those fine ladies and gentlemen out there came and called me terrible names, what would you do?" he asked.
