First thing we kind of treat, and we're then told, or sit silently, and listen to our thoughts.

Welcome, Kindred Spirits, to the History Chicks coverage of the Netflix series, and with an E.

You have found episode 4. I'm Beckett Graham, and I am Susan Bollinweider.

So the title of this episode, an inward treasure-born, as usual, is another quote from Jane Eyre.

In which Mr. Rochester is dressed up like a gypsy woman, he's kind of deceiving everybody by pretending

about the storyline of Marilla and Anne mulling over a certain person's mansplating of the women's

role in society, and trying to find where they fit in that, what they really believe they are from
