Description: Here we see Mr. Rochester riding on horseback home to Thornfield late at night. His dog, Pilot, runs beside him. Thornfield is visible in the background. Jane was worried because Mr. Rochester was out so late, so she left the house to look for him. As she walked up the lane, Mr. Rochester arrived home, and pulled her up onto his horse with him.
