PART THREE - A YOUNG WOMAN AT THORNFIELD CHAPTER SEVEN Mr.Rochester The house where I was to work was called Thornfield. It was a large house in the country. After a day's journey,I arrived at the house. Mrs.Fairfax,who came out to meet me,was a little old lady. She seemed happy to have someone to talk to. The house was dark and cold,with large rooms full of beautiful,expensive furniture. It was not a very comforting house. But I was excited to live there,working for kind Mrs.Fairfax. However,I soon discovered Mrs.Fairfax was not the house's owner,as I had thought. She was only a servant. Thornfield belonged to a man named Mr.Rochester,who was not at home when I arrived.
