Jane Eyre IV

Jane has very little money but she takes her things and rides the stage coach as far as she can, but then has her belongings stolen. In desperation she sleeps on the moor. She is taken in by a family who live near where she collapsed... and they are kind to her. The family are not very rich but they are gentlefolk and they are willing to look after her. There are 2 sisters, Mary and Diana Rivers and their brother St John, who is a clergyman who wants to become a missionary. He is a rather cold serious man, who is not friendly or warm hearted. His sisters grow fond of Jane and she likes them. St John finds her a job at the village school which means she has a home and a small income. After a little while, Jane tells the Riverses her real name, and they discover that they are cousins. Her uncle Mr Eyre is also their uncle. Then Mr Eyre dies and leaves Jane his fortune, which leaves her quite well off. She feels concerned that her cousins didn't inherit anything from the uncle and she divides up her bequest among the family.
