The book switches from Jane being a child to a young lady. Jane decides that she has been at Lowood long enough and puts an ad out, saying that she is looking to be hired in a private home as a teacher. She gets a reply from a Mrs,Fairfax saying that there is a girl at around the age of eight and the pay is thirty pounds. The offer was a good one and Jane decided to take it. Before Jane was about to leave Lowood, Bessie came to visit her. Bessie told Jane that her uncle from her father side came by the Reeds household to see her, but Jane was at Lowwod. I think that is part is foreshadowing something later in the book.
The position that Jane had accepted was in Thornfield, which was approximately sixteen hours from Lowood by carriage. Upon Jane's arrival to Thornfield she learns that Mrs.Fairfax is only the manager of Thornfield and that Mr.Thornfield is away at the time being. Jane's student Adele is from France and an orphan that Mr.Thornfield decided to take in. The life Jane has at Thornfield is one of the best she has had so far.
