In this scene from the 2007 Masterpiece film of Jane Eyre, Jane has been invited to bring Adele to the ladies at a fancy dress party, including the imperious Lady Ingram and her beautiful daughter Blanche, whom everyone assumes will become Mr. Rochester's fiancee. As the scene opens, Mr. Rochester and Lady Ingram are arguing. "If some people are rich and some poor, then that is God's will. So be it, I am satisfied," she tells Mr. Rochester. Blanche is annoyed and unfriendly towards Adele and, when the conversation turns to governesses, her mother declares, "...governesses are a nuisance, all of them." Blanche laughs carelessly about a trick she played on one of her governess. "We were very naughty," she says, "She was so boring, poor thing." Jane observes the conversation silently, but she is hurt and insulted by their disdain and disgust. [1:46]
