I'm still going with Jane - thought I'd be finished by now, but I keep interrupting her with other 'quick fixes'. My mind is rebelling and in a lazy mood so I keep being distracted by one-dayer novels.
Anyway, poor Jane has found out that Mr Rochester (anyone else find it strange that his firstname is the same as his housekeepers surname, ie Fairfax) has a mad wife in the attic and has flown the scene, being saved from starvation by a rather interesting family. I am now past the bits I knew a bit about, so will be interested to see how it all turns out in the end.
I have been trying to think of an equivalent situation that could happen now. Obviously in this specific case, Mr R would have been able to get an annulment, and anyway, living out of wedlock is these days only shocking to very small, permed old ladies who smell of lavender - and with some of the story lines on Eastenders these days, probably not even them.
Will report back once finished.
