Chapter XXIX
by Charlotte Brontë

On the fourth day, she feels well again and follows the smell of baking bread into the kitchen, where she finds Hannah.

Hannah tells the story of Mr. Rivers, the siblings’ father, who lost most of the family fortune in a bad business deal. In turn, Diana and Mary were forced to work as governesses—they are only at Marsh End (or Moor House) now because their father died three weeks ago. Jane then relates some of her own story and admits that Jane Elliott is not her real name. St. John promises to find her a job.
