I meant to write that once you click the link, click the word page and you will see it.
I did it on audio that's why I don't know the exact page.
Here you go Tea. I was having the same problem but when you click the page it comes up."Piece of cake"To me, Troll said,"You find who took my Katie and you put a hole in him for me."
I guess I have a reason to finally read Jane Eyre. Or maybe reread Jane Austen :)Both would work for classic or movie/TV show filmed in Europe
