After St. John Rivers had taken so surprising a departure from Jane, she was astonished to receive a further visit from him the following evening. He revealed that the words 'Jane Eyre' had been written on the slip of paper he had torn from her drawing board. That Jane Eyre should be found had become a matter of urgency. Advertisements had been put in the papers, for her uncle in Maderahad died and left her his fortune, It further transpired that John Eyre was also uncle to the Rivers family. Jane now possessed wealth and three cousins.
Life continued contentedly for her and her newly-found relatives at Marsh End until St. John proposed that she should marry him and share his labours at a missionary in Inda. Jane declared herself willing to accompany St. John as a missionary, but not as a wife. Later, swayed almost against her will by St. John's insistence she was tempted to yield to his proposals, and then, out of the night, she heard the voice of Edward Rochester crying her name. She knew that her master needed her and resolved to journey to Thornfield Hall.
