Chapter 14:The Arrival of Rochester As time passed, my life at Lowood School became more stable. I continued teaching the younger students and gradually grew fond of the work. Every day, I was learning and growing. One day, the headmaster told me that the school would be receiving a distinguished guest. I was nervous, unsure of who it would be. But I knew this opportunity was important for the school. That day, the distinguished guest finally arrived. He was Mr. Rochester, a wealthy gentleman. His arrival attracted the attention of the whole school. When I first met Mr. Rochester, he appeared calm and serious. He asked me about the teaching situation and expressed his appreciation for my work. I felt a little nervous, but also pleased by his praise. In the following days, Mr. Rochester often talked to me. We discussed many topics, including education, life, and the future. His thoughts were profound, and his words were sharp. I gradually realized that Mr. Rochester had a complex inner world. He was not as indifferent as he appeared. His words sparked a deep interest in him. Although our conversations increased, I still kept a certain distance. I understood that as a teacher, I needed to maintain a professional attitude. However, I began to look forward to more conversations with him. |
