"Who are you?"he said to the stranger. "And tell me why you think I am already married!" "I am a lawyer,sir. I have a paper here,which says that fifteen years ago,you married Bertha Mason in the West Indies." "That may prove I've been married," Mr. Rochester said coldly and angrily, "but it doesn't prove that she's still alive." "There is a man here who has seen her alive." The lawyer stared at Mr.Rochester as if he hated him. "Show him to me--or go to hell!" said Mr.Rochester. "Mr. Mason!"called the lawyer.The second man came forward. His face was pale,but firm.Mr.Rochester shouted, "Mason!" and raised his stong arm. For a second I thought he was going to hit Mason.
