Description: During the time in which Mr. Rochester hosted company at Thornfield, a psychic shows up at Thornfield while Mr. Rochester was out. Miss Ingram was the first to speak to the psychic and when she returned to the parlor, she appeared quite shaken and refused to tell anyone what was said. She simply sat down looking at a book but not reading it, shown here. The psychic spoke to all the women in the party. Jane met with the psychic last, and she discovered that the psychic was really Mr. Rochester in disguise.
