However,I would never have to worry about money again! I was independent for life! "Wouldn't you like to know how much money you have,Jane Eyre?"said St.John. "It's only a little bit--just twenty thousand pounds,I think." "Twenty thousand pounds!" I thought I would faint from surprise.

"I have ways of discovering interesting things."
