Jane Eyre "AI" Pages 99-113

Page 99: After Jane has arrived at her new home she starts to notice some peculiar occurrences. One thing I found noteworthy was that things were ofter referred to as locked. And so the person in charge must be incredibly un-trusting to have even the books locked up. Also the girl Jane comes to teach apparently has no family just as Jane and has no particular talents nor defining qualities as Jane. Will Jane adopt her?
Page 109: There has been a constant reference to vaults and how the air felt as if you were in a vault. This also coincides with the idea of everything being locked up. There isn't a lot of movement around the house and everything is almost secretive or forbidding.
Page 110: One of the house maids is being too loud and the elder lady tells her to "remember directions." Was there some kind of set rules the house must follow to please the master even while he wasn't around? Was everyone to watch their tongue even when not in his presence?
