Author’s Notes:
This chapter brought more of the household to light. Grace is the main suspect, but then we have the clue of sago. Sago is a starch that comes from palm trees. It is used to make dishes from the tropics. This is the food that is made for Ms Rochester or Bertha; food from her home country. Heartbreaking.
When Jane is puzzling over the clues that she has she knows that Mr. Rochester blamed Grace, but did not fire her and she considers maybe Mr. Rochester slept with her and now owes her something. It is baffling and understandably so, but she gets a bit priggish about it thinking that she is pretty good looking and more interesting.
Blanche Ingram – White Angel Raven. I am pushing for a little more diversity in the book and think Blanche, or now Blanca, would be a lovely Spanish woman. You will have to let me know if you think it overdone.
