107 and white long-haired dog, just like the Gytrash of the lane. It was so like it that I went forward and said-‘Pilot,’ and the thing got up and came to me and snuffed me. I caressed him, and he wagged his great tail; but he looked an eerie creature to be alone with, and I could not tell whence he had come. I rang the bell, for I wanted a candle; and I wanted, too, to get an account of this visitant. Leah entered. ‘What dog is this?’ ‘He came with master.’ ‘With whom?’ ‘With master-Mr. Rochester-he is just arrived.’ ‘Indeed! and is Mrs. Fairfax with him?’ ‘Yes, and Miss Adele; they are in the dining- room, and John is gone for a surgeon; for master has had an accident; his horse fell and his ankle is sprained.’ ‘Did the horse fall in Hay Lane?’ ‘Yes, coming down-hill; it slipped on some ice.’ ‘Ah! Bring me a candle, will you, Leah?’ Leah brought it; she entered, followed by Mrs. Fairfax, who repeated the news; adding that Mr. Carter the surgeon was come, and was now with Mr. Rochester: then she hurried out to give orders about tea, and I went upstairs to take off my things. |
