Quote: "'There, then--'Off, ye lendings!' And Mr. Rochester stepped out of his disguise" (204).
Reflection: Jane must be ecstatic that she kept up her guard while speaking to the supposed gypsy. Genius idea of Mr. Rochester's, unfortunately, his little Jane Eyre did not confess what he was hoping for. He most definitely got the truth of Miss Ingram's intentions as she left the gypsy quite trouble and disappointed. No doubt that if Mr. Rochester was an average man without a mansion but decent home she would snarl at him in the same manner as she does with Jane. Let us not forget also, that he specifically wanted to talk to Jane himself because she was not going to visit the gypsy like the rest of the women. She was specifically sought by the "gypsy" or Mr. Rochester. He wanted to know of her thoughts most of all. Her analysis of Miss Ingram has also just been proven. A lover knows their lover, and Jane recognized certain features of the gypsy to be the same as Mr. Rochester's, Miss Ingram did not. I do wonder if this gypsy idea was established solely on discovering the thoughts of Jane or if he was considering marrying Miss Ingram and wanted to be sure that she was just a gold digger.
