Сomment on a passage or sentence from the text.

Before writing the passage, I guess I should acquiant the reader with some latest events. Jane was sent to the school far away from Mrs Reed,  her benefactress. When she gets 18, she decides  to try teaching and writes a letter. A few time later she is invited by Bessie,  the servant at the Mrs Reed's house!

"Oh,you are quite a lady, Miss Jane! I knew you  would be: you will get on whether your relations notice you or not. There was something I wanted to ask you. Have you ever heard anything from your father's kinsfolk, the Eyres? "
"Never in my life."
"Well, you know Miss is always said they were poor and quite despicable: and they may be poor; but I believe they are as much gentry as the Reeds are;  for one day, nearly seven years ago, a Mr Eyre came to Gateshead and wanted to see you; Miss is said you were at school fifty miles off; he seemed so much disappointed, for he could not stay: he was going on a voyage to a foreign country, and the ships as to sail from London in a day or two. He looked quite a gentleman, and I believe he was your father's brother."

I concidered this passage to be intriguing and interesting. Reading the story I was sure Jane didn't have any relatives so this information is quite unexpected. Also we finds out this man seems to be a rich person. And who knows how he could have changed her life. As he was willing to see her, probably he wanted to say or do something important. But anyway if he was mentioned in the story, I suppose we would meet him again.  So the book is getting more and more interesting, let's see what's next.
