Description: Here we see Jane’s arrival at Thornfield Hall. Jane stands on the left facing Mrs. Fairfax, the elderly housekeeper. Jane arrived at Thornfield late at night. When she arrived, she thought that Mrs. Fairfax was the owner of the house, rather than the housekeeper. She found out later that it was not the case.
