THE manor¹-house of Ferndean was a building of considerable antiquity², moderate size, and no architectural pretensions³, deep buried in a wood. I had heard of it before. Mr. Rochester often spoke⁴ of it, and sometimes went there. His father had purchased the estate for the sake of the game covers. He would have let the house, but could find no tenant⁵, in consequence of its ineligible⁶ and insalubrious site. Ferndean then remained uninhabited and unfurnished, with the exception of some two or three rooms fitted up for the accommodation of the squire⁷ when he went there in the season to shoot.
To this house I came just ere dark on an evening marked by the characteristics of sad sky, cold gale⁸, and continued small penetrating⁹ rain. The last mile I performed on foot, having dismissed the chaise and driver with the double remuneration I had promised. Even when within a very short distance of the manor-house, you could see nothing of it, so thick and dark grew the timber of the gloomy wood about it. Iron gates between granite¹⁰ pillars showed me where to enter, and passing through them, I found myself at once in the twilight¹¹ of close-ranked trees. There was a grass-grown track descending¹² the forest aisle
