PART THREE - A YOUNG WOMAN AT THORNFIELD
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
I return to Gateshead

"Well, if you're going to go, you'll need some money. I haven't paid you yet! How much money have you got, Jane?" he asked, smiling at me. [-----1-----]
"Here is 50 pounds," he said.
"But sir, that's too much! You only owe me 15 pounds for my teaching!" I cried.
"You're right. Give me that money back. If you had 50 pounds, you might stay away for months! Here's 10 pounds. Is that enough?"
"But now you owe me five pounds, sir."
"you'll have to come back and get it then," he said, laughing.
"[-----2-----] "You have told me you're going to marry Miss Ingram soon, and that Adele should go away to school. So I must get ready to find another job somewhere. I will begin looking."
"Don't do that!" he said. "[-----3-----]"
I didn't understand him at all, but he looked so worried that I said, "I promise, sir."
"Good! And now I must go back to my guests. They are waiting for me."
"Goodbye, Mr. Rochester," I said.

Vocabulary Focus


owe me 15 pounds:欠我15英镑。欠某人多少钱可用“owe+人+钱”或用“owe+钱+to+人”,因而原文可以改为“owe 15 pounds to me”。
