The Truth Uncovered

Today was a terrible day for everyone. Poor Jane. Poor Mr. Rochester. We were in the middle of the wedding ceremony, I had little Adele all dressed up in a pink frock at my side, when suddenly a scandal began. I was too far away to hear the details but I heard Mr. Rochester admit to having his other wife shut up on the third floor of Thornfield! I heard him telling the whole audience about Bertha and how Grace Poole takes care of her. I wish I had told Jane about what was going on. She of course realized a long time ago that there was a mystery at Thornfield, and she knew that I knew, but I do not think she realized that she was part of the plan to cover up the mystery. Mr. Rochester admitted to trying to commit bigamy and that by marrying Jane he was trying to cover up his first marriage completely. I was not alone in the knowledge of the first marriage; Sophie and the other servants knew as well, or must have had some suspicions. I cannot have been the only person to have heard "Grace's" eerie laughter at odd hours of the night, or realized that Grace would not set fire to Mr. Rochester's bedroom, or even tear Jane's veil in half. I do not know what will happen next, but I have a feeling that Jane will not stay at Thornfield much longer; she's a strong girl and does not want to be used.
