Description: Here we see Jane Eyre standing underneath a tree in the orchard outside Thornfield. She went for a walk after putting Adele, the young girl for whom Jane is governess. She stands, looking at the flowers near a tree with a bench built around the trunk of the tree. It is a nice summer evening, and soon Mr. Rochester comes out to join her.
