16 Preparing for the wedding
　　I was a little nervous before seeing Mr Rochester next morning．Was I really going to marry him， or was it all a dream？But I soon felt calmer when he came to meet me and kissed me．
　　'Jane，you look well and smiling and pretty，'he said．'You will be Jane Rochester in four weeks' time，not a day more．I'll send for my family jewels，which are kept in a London bank．They are for my bride，whether she's a great lady or a governess．'
　　'Oh no，sir！' I cried．'I'm too plain for jewels！I'm not used to wearing them．'
　　'I insist，Jane．Today I'm taking you in the carriage to Millcote to buy you some elegant clothes．In a month's time we'll have a quiet wedding in the local church，and after a few days in London we'll travel through all the countries of Europe．'
　　'Well，sir，you seem very eager to please me，but I wonder if you will agree to a request of mine．'
　　'Ask me anything，Jane，anything！'
　　'Indeed I will．This is my request．I ask you not to give me jewels and fine clothes．'
　　'If that's really your wish，I agree But can't you think of anything I can give you？'

16 准备婚礼
　　第二天早上，我有些害怕见到罗切斯特先生。我是真的要和他结婚了，还是做了一场梦？但是，他来看我，吻了我，我很快平静下来。
　　“简，你气色不错，有了笑容，还那么漂亮。”他说。“四星期后你将成为简•罗切斯特，一天也不会多。我会派人取来存在伦敦银行里的祖传珠宝。它们是留给我的新娘的，不管她是位了不起的贵妇还是家庭教师。”
　　“噢，不，先生。”我说，“我太平凡了，配不上珠宝，我也不习惯戴首饰。”
　　“简，我一定要你戴。今天我带你坐马车到米尔考特去买些漂亮衣服。一个月后，我们就在本地的教堂里举办安安静静的婚礼，在伦敦待几天后，我们要走遍欧洲所有的国家。”
　　“好了，先生，你好像急着要让我高兴，但不知你可否答应我一个小小的请求。”
　　“说吧，简，要什么都行！”
　　“我是要说。这就是我的要求：我请你不要给我珠宝和漂亮的衣服。”
　　“如果你真这么想，我就答应你。但是你就不能想想我能送给你点儿什么？”
