Author’s Notes:
Jane is suffering and struggling but keeping on with life. StJohn gives the best explanation for his oddities. He has a burrnning heart and wishes to be more. So he will challenge himself by going a preaching. He is a bit of a prat.
Poor Miss Oliver wishes to tease him out and longs to get his love, but he is too tortured and in love with his agony. He has made a god of his resistance. We all make a god out of things that harm us.
