Page 129: Mr. Rochester takes and examines Jane's paintings in much detail and is looking deep into Jane's soul as it were. He notices a kind of lonelyness and almost tortured image in the pictures and inquires to her mind. Indeed she does have an inner side to which there is all the characteristics of the old Jane and not the simple civil person he sees in front of him. Will he draw her out?
Page 133: Rochester is rude but only for brevity. He begs pardon of Jane and strangely doesn't seem it below him to apologize. We do see the seriousness of the master and how he inquires into every aspect no matter how rude it may seem. He is blunt as Jane used to be blunt. They are a perfect match.
Page 134: Whenever Jane is studying someone new she pays particular attention the the eyes. whether they be deep or shallow, bright or dark, dazzling or dim. It is said that no matter how you change yourself it is the eyes you can never change, then going back to the fate mentioned with Helen, eyes are determined at birth and thus can determine character. So in essence to look into ones eyes is to look into ones soul.
Page 137: Mr. Rochester seems eager to please in the way he begs pardon for his rude manner and the way he asks Jane if she finds his demands unpleasing. Perhaps he wasn't accepted as a child and thus must reach out for acceptance even though he's in a position, as Jane points out, that he shouldn't have to care.
