Franklin Library Jane Eyre Novels & Stories

"His gift?" "Yes. It should have arrived last week. A rare first edition of 'Pride and Prejudice.' He mentioned it was your favorite." Jane's favorite book was "Valley of the Dolls"—she'd never expressed interest in Jane Austen. This was a test. "Oh, that gift." Lyra scrambled for a response. "Yes, it was... wonderful. Please thank him for me." "You can thank him yourself tomorrow," Amelia replied. "Good evening, Mrs. Blackwood."

After a moment of hesitation, she opened the door a little and peeped inside, when she saw no one, she opened it further and stepped in. Her gaze swept over the room once again, taking in its minimalist, yet elegant state. Everything was orderly, the bed was neatly made, and her eyes were drawn to the small bookshelf next to it. Curiosity got the better of her, and she found herself walking towards the bookshelf. “Jane Austen and R.L Stines,” she murmured as she ran her fingers along the spine of the books, “Interesting taste.” Her gaze landed on a picture frame wedged in between the books and her curiosity piqued further as she gently took it out.

The Psychopathology of Everyday Life" by Sigmund Freud." Jane flashed a smile. She was a middle-aged woman, petite, with a round face and the prettiest smile you could ever think of. She often wore a love-shaped glass and rested it on the bridge of her nose when she wanted to stare at you. She wasn't the only Librarian here. They were about 5 I had seen. But Jane had to be the best. She wasn't grumpy and didn't hate school children. She did her job with excitement and I believed she loved being a librarian.

’ My feet carried me slowly, across the room, my fingertips brushing against the shelves before picking up a book. Persuasion by Jane Austen. Nostalgia hit me like a train. “It's still here…” I whispered, picking up another book. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. I flipped through the pages, inhaling the faint smell of old papers. “It's all here, Andrew.” I croaked. “I know…” he whispered. “What do you two want?” A haggard voice asked, walking close to us. My eyes landed on a wrinkly figure, a cane to balance her as she walked closer.

I asked again. "Because Asher brought you here. Because I saw you sitting in my kitchen, laughing at Harold's jokes, wearing my son's sweater." She smiled. A small, sad smile. "Because you looked at me like I was someone you could trust. And I didn't want to let you down again." I looked at the bookshelf across the room. The worn copy of Jane Eyre. I remembered it from the weekend. "Is the second letter in there?" I asked. Eleanor followed my gaze. "Yes."

, Jane snapped, her face contorted in fury. Ivy smiled and nudged her, “What are you so shy about? Which woman doesn’t have… needs? You’re the Young Mistress of the Harringtons now. It’s too risky even if you want to pick up a few boys to warm your bed. Just wait a little longer… till he’s gone”. Unable to tolerate the embarrassment any further, Jane covered her ears to block out her friend’s teasing. After class ended, Jane prepared to leave for the library, the materials there helped a lot with her studies and could maybe even teach her how to help Ethan’s legs recover.

“I thought he moved on.” But Ash didn’t move on. He waited. And now he was here. Later that afternoon, August’s room was empty again. No photos. No trace of intrusion. The wall was clean, freshly painted, as if nothing had ever been there. Except for one item. On his bed: a hardcover book. Jane Eyre. Inside, underlined in red: “I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”

As I walked up to the counter, a grim-faced librarian gave me a dubious look. I said, maintaining a calm tone, "I'm searching for documents pertaining to the Harrington family." She knitted her brow. "Access to such archives is restricted. Are you cleared? After a moment of hesitation, I took Williams' business card out of my purse. I introduced myself as Mrs. Franklin in the hopes that my name would be significant enough to get me a job. Although there was still scepticism in her eyes, her demeanour softened a little. She said, "Wait here," and vanished via a side door.

She smiles as she is taken in amazement and fascination once more towards the grand library that stands with its fresh and finest beauty that is already standing with its glory right from the very beginning, and unto the first loop. “Calling for death.” Taken by the words that Jane just utters as she flips the pages of the book that she finds after falling right in front of her. She watches carefully as curiosity gets the better of her and flips the pages down to the specific chapter she reads. “The Necromancer.” Fully knowing who it is as she immediately looks at the book that she is holding, with the conviction and strengthen ideology that it was the same one. She walks forward, yet just e

For a moment, I savored the quiet escape from the whirlwind outside. "Hmm," I began, swirling the glass in my hands. "Let's see... I belt out questionable tunes in the shower, prefer quiet nights with a book to these," I gestured around, "and this Friday night attire is definitely out of character." "Books?" His tone was genuinely curious, not the feigned interest I’d come to expect from most. "Any favorites?" "Jane Eyre," I replied without hesitation.
