Moor Hall, First Responce
Jane's time at Moor Hall is a time of recovery and learning. Moor Hall is owned by St. John Rivers (pronounced "Sinjin Rivers"), a clergyman local to the aria. He is of old blood though his family fortune has dried up and he lives with his sisters Mary Rivers, Diana Rivers, and their maid Hannah. Jane later discovers that she is cousin to St. John on her mothers side of the family. This leads to an interesting conversation.
“Hush, Hannah! I have a word to say to the woman. You have done your duty in excluding, now let me do mine in admitting her. I was near, and listened to both you and her. I think this is a peculiar case—I must at least examine into it. Young woman, rise, and pass before me into the house.”
Jane's entrance into Moor Hall is a oddity \ which leads to the conclusion that she will eventually be fully accepted here and will be treated as an equal. My reason for this is the way Mr. Rivers tells her to enter the house. He seems to wish to inspect her for as he earlier said she is a peculiar case. After Jane's admittance to Moor House and her Recovery, she befriends the girls and ends up studying German and Drawling with them.

Jane began her love of drawing at Lowood Institute and continued to draw in every place she went there after. It is during her time at Moor House, or moor specifically during her time teaching at a local school, that Jane slips and writes her real name Jane Eyre not the name she had been going by, Jane Elliot. This slip of the hand ends up with her coming into £20,000 inheritance. So even though Jane never sold a drawling she could say that her skill earned her £20,000.
