3 I felt Mr. Rochester start and shudder; he hastily flung his arms round me.
4 When I looked up, on leaving his arms, there stood the widow, pale, grave, and amazed.
5 She sat down on the ground near me, embraced her knees with her arms, and rested her head upon them; in that attitude she remained silent as an Indian.
