Select the correct answer. Which word best describes the author's tone in this excerpt?
Jane Eyre
by Charlotte Bronte (excerpt)

Long did the hours seem while I waited the departure of the company, and listened for the
sound of Bessie's step on the stairs: sometimes she would come up in the interval to seek
her thimble or her scissors, or perhaps to bring me something by way of supper-a bun or a
cheese-cake-then she would sit on the bed while I ate it, and when I had finished, she
would tuck the clothes round me, and twice she kissed me, and said, "Good night. Miss Jane."
When thus gentle, Bessie seemed to me the best, prettiest, kindest being in the world, and I
wished most intensely that she would always be so pleasant and amiable, and never push
me about or scold, or task me unreasonably, as she was too often wont to do. Bessie Lee
must. I think, have been a girl of good natural capacity, for she was smart in all she did, and
had a remarkable knack of narrative: so, at least, I judge from the impression made on me by
her nursery tales.
