Hey, my beautiful readers!

I just arrived at Thornfield this morning… and it’s a lot… drearier than what I remembered. I almost miss being back home; except that Mr Rochester isn’t there of course! But oh well, his home definitely adds to his secretive and slightly eccentric persona.

But more importantly… Oh, wow! I had completely forgotten what an excellent rider Mr Rochester was! We rode in a very comfortable silence together (with his ugly mutt Pilot barking at Freida!) to his home, and he was an absolute sight! He had his usual harsh expression and his hard dark eyes but (for his age) he is still extremely handsome. There is just a very… alluring and mysterious air about him. I just hope he notices me instead of… a certain pair of siblings. My mother is very keen on having him court me, and I certainly am not objecting. We just have to make sure that I put my best face forward, and that he sees it.

Anyway, back to our story. Well, the two of us arrived ahead of the company so I had a chance to be… (re) acquainted with his household. His dear old maid was there to greet us, along with his bouncy and…. chatty little ward. There was also her new governess… Jade? Mr Rochester’s ward was speaking a bit too fast for me to understand but ugh! I remember our numerous governesses! The mere word sends shivers up my delicate spine. I’m just glad I don’t need one anymore. I shall keep you all updated on my progress at Thornfield soon!
