"A ... lady lean and pale Who totters forth wrapt in a gauzy veil, Out of her chamber led by the insane And feeble wanderings of her fading brain," were responsible for the "plot" of _Jane Eyre_ including an insane lady who wanders out of her chamber at night and dons a vapoury veil. And evidence of the enthusiasm with which Charlotte Brontë applied herself to _Jane Eyre_ is the fact that she at once took from Montagu's little volume for this her second story based upon the book's suggestions, the names of Broughton, Poole (from Pooley), Eshton, Georgiana, Lynn (from Linton), Lowood (from Low-wood), Mason, Ingram, Helen,[16] and possibly Millcote (from Weathercote). Thus far we see Charlotte Brontë drew _Wuthering Heights_ and _Jane Eyre_ from the same source; that in a word, _Jane Eyre_, was Charlotte's second attempt to utilize and amplify the suggestions in Montagu's work which had appealed to her when she began _Wuthering Heights_, and we see the suggestions she utilized in _Jane Eyre_ always bear unmistakable relationship to those she had utilized in her _Wuthering Heights_. But the use Charlotte Brontë made of Montagu's book was not in the nature of literary theft; that volume simply afforded suggestions which she enlarged upon. I shall presently show how I find _Jane Eyre_ is the second attempt of Currer Bell to enlarge upon suggestions that had appealed to her when she first read Montagu. For a commencement I will refer to the early construction of her _Wuthering Heights_ and _Jane Eyre_. As simple stories they both are based upon the description Montagu gives of an isolated hostelry with an inhospitable hostess, a midnight apparition, and an air of mystery that surrounds the hostess and a peculiar, uncouth servant, to whom I have already alluded. The stage properties of this narrative, the characters, and the "action" or plot, I will give side by side, as they appear severally, first in Montagu, next in _Wuthering Heights_, and finally in _Jane Eyre_. Herewith the reader will have excellent examples of the two chief methods I find Charlotte Brontë employed often when she drew from a character in more than one work or instance, or when she desired to veil the identity of her originals. Charlotte Brontë's Methods I. and II., being discovered equally in _Wuthering Heights_ and _Jane Eyre_ show, as conclusively as any other evidence, that she was the author of both works. No consideration whatsoever can alter the iron fact or depreciate from its significance, that it was absolutely my discovery of Charlotte Brontë's Methods I. and II., which revealed to me the sensational verbal and other parallels between _Wuthering Heights_ and _Jane Eyre_ I give in _The Key to the Brontë Works_:-- Read carefully:-- Charlotte Brontë's Method I.--The interchange of sexes. Thus the original of A may be a woman, and the original of B a man; but A may be represented as a man, and B as a woman.
