- Description
- Here we see a group of young people harvesting hay. There are piles of hay in the background covered with cloth to keep them pinned down and protected from rain. A young man and young woman carry pitchforks, and three other workers are visible in the background. Thornfield is visible in the distance. This scene occurs when Jane Eyre is returning to Thornfield after visiting her aunt and cousins. The title is not underneath the image itself, but it is listed in the List of Illustrations preceding the text.
