Description: After hearing about the fire at Thornfield, Jane went to Ferndean Manor where Mr. Rochester now lived. He was blinded helping people get out of Thornfield, and his hand had to be amputated because it was crushed by a falling beam. When Jane arrived at Ferndean, Mr. Rochester could not believe that she was really there. She entered the room bringing him water instead of his housekeeper.
