Mrs. Fairfax
I cannot believe it!
He means to marry her? A governess!
A slip of a girl
Who misplaces her grace
And disgraces he place
A slip of a girl
Who should settle for less
And confess a success
I'm outraged and appalled
Distressed and offended
Scandalized, mortified
Shocked and upended
Adele
Is it true, mam'selle?
Jane
Is what true, Adele?
Mrs. Fairfax
You're a slip of a girl
It is unlikely, I fear
He's in love with you, dear
Jane
Mrs. Fairfax!
Mrs. Fairfax
A slip of a girl!
Would you marry him when
You've no knowledge of men?
A slip of girl
I would beg you to purge
Your unvirginal urge
I'm fretted and anxious
Concerned and disturbed
Upset, apprehensive
Harassed and perturbed!
Oh, Jane, you must be careful...
I remember in my youth
I thought the same as you,
But men, my dear, will break your heart
Servant
While swearing to be true.
Jane
Oh, thank you.
Mrs. Fairfax
But these are the Rochester jewels!
To be worn by a governess?
I'm astonished, alarmed
Perplexed and dumbfounded
Bewildered, embarrassed
Amazed and astounded
Jane
I don't know why he sent them. I told him I would not wear them.
Mrs. Fairfax
Not wear them? And who are you to say you will not wear jewels given to you by Mr. Edward Fairfax Rochester?
A slip of a girl
Whose form, I'll be sworn
A slip of a girl
Who'd be blessed, at the best
To be fetchingly dressed!
A slip of a girl
Who'll do as she's told
Or be wholly cajoled,
Laughable, impudent
Brazen, audacious
Saucy, impertinent
Bold and ungracious
Adele
Ooh, voila!
Servant
From the tailor at Milcote, Miss.
Jane
Yes, thank you.
Mrs. Fairfax
So this is the dress?
Jane
Do you like it?
Mrs. Fairfax
Like it? Well...
I remember, long ago
When I wore such a dress...
He died, poor man, and broke my heart
Still broken, I confess
Jane
Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that, Mrs. Fairfax...
Mrs. Fairfax
A slip of a girl
Inspidly built
Ill-equipped, to the hilt
Jane
Mrs. Fairfax...
Mrs. Fairfax
You're a slip of a girl
And I'll bet he'll not let
You be more than a pet
He's twenty years older
Aesthetics won't let it
Be more than a friendship
You'd better forget it
Jane
No, indeed, Mrs. Fairfax. Edward is young...
Mrs. Fairfax
Edward?
Jane
He's yound in his heart.
Mrs. Fairfax
Really?
Jane
He loves me, I'm sure.
Mrs. Fairfax
Oh, dear, I don't know...
Jane
I solemnly swear...
Mrs. Fairfax
Love is a great thing...
Jane
Our love will endure
Mrs. Fairfax
Well, then...
I'm thrilled, I'm enchanted
Enraptured, excited
Gratified, tickled...
I trust I'm invited?
I'm charmed, I'm disarmed!
Jane Eyre, I'm delighted!
