Mr. Mason is Attacked

A stranger, Mr. Mason, arrives at Thornfield. That night, a terrible scream is heard, and the house is roused. Mr. Rochester calms the guests, claiming a servant had a nightmare. He then secretly summons Jane to help him tend to a wounded man: Mr. Mason, who has been stabbed and bitten. Jane assists Rochester in cleaning the wounds. The attacker is revealed to be the mysterious woman in the attic. This event deepens the mystery of Thornfield and hints at a dark secret in Rochester's past.
