Hello and welcome to Storytime for grownups.

I'm Faith Moore, and this season we're reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.

Each episode, I'll read one chapter from the book,

pausing from time to time to give brief explanations so it's easier to follow along.

So brew a pot of tea, find a cozy chair,

and settle in. It's story time. Okay, I have something else that should go in the merch store.

Also, hi.

Welcome back, the story time for grownups.

I'm so glad you're here.

He said, well-said forehead.

And I don't know, that made me laugh.

So I want a hat that says that across the top, across the forehead. One of these days,

we will have a merch store and that will be in it. So welcome back. Weird chapter, huh? Chapter 19.

It turns out that the fortune teller was Mr. Rochester all along. We're going to talk about that

in a minute. But that was very strange. I got so many letters from you guys. Thank you for all of

your letters. I was a pleasure reading every single one about what the heck is going on with

Mr. Rochester. And I think that really is the question about chapter 19. So we're going to talk
