Sad Goodbyes

Today was a very sad day at Thornfield, I really did enjoy Jane's company but I do not think I expressed this in our goodbye. I think everyone was still shocked by the terrible event of the wedding. I must admit however, that I had my suspicions of what was going on in the attic. It seemed odd that Mr. Rochester would keep Grace Poole shut up on the third floor all this time instead of just sending her to an asylum because he did not have any connection to her. Mr. Rochester worked very hard to keep his secret of Bertha covered up because, I think, he really does love Jane. I wish that I had expressed more warmth towards her when she left, but I was still shocked and unsure of who to trust. Thornfield has many secrets and the biggest one of all was just discovered. It is unfortunate that such a young, nice girl had to be involved, but it really was not her fault. My views of Mr. Rochester have changed drastically. I once thought him a good, kind and honest man, even though I knew his secret, but now I see him only as a lying bigamist because he never told Jane the truth . I do not understand his reasoning for lying and cheating in such a manner. I realize now that Jane is innocent and I truly hope that she is doing well wherever she may be.
