People Jane could have asked for help when she wanted to leave Thornfield, instead of just running out into the wilderness with a piece of bread and some money that she spent entirely on bus fare:
Mrs. Fairfax: Didn't know Rochester was married, would understand that Jane wants to leave. Could possibly provide a loan to help Jane travel to where she needs to go, or at least direct her to other people who could help.
Mr. Eyre/Mr. Mason/the lawyer: Sure, her uncle's dying, and his employees just left her there, but they might not be that far from Thornfield. Could be nearby, or could be reachable by letter if inquiries were made.
Mr. Rochester: He owes Jane money. She could demand it and ask for a reference. If he refuses, she could always pull the "you want to lock two wives in the attic?" card. Risky option, because Rochester is volatile, he's already shown signs of violence, and Jane might cave if she faces him again. I don't blame her for not taking this option, but it was there.
Bessie and Robert: They like her, and they have a house separate from the main house. If she can find a way to travel there, they'd probably house her.
The priest: You know, the one who was going to marry them in the church that's literally walking distance from Thornfield's front door. He knows Jane's story, knows that she's innocent, and knows exactly why she needs help. In the perfect position to provide aid.
The Lowood school: She's been gone for less than a year. I'm sure they'd take her back.
Lol “shown signs of violence”

“My own beloved Wify,
I begin this letter a few hours before Kursk, so as to finish it this evening. The train shakes a little so you must excuse my bad writing! Sweet lovy-mine, how sad and how hard it was saying goodbye yesterday, I felt I could not speak to you during the last moments, for fear of bursting into tears.
Knowing that I was leaving you all alone (except the children) after such trying circumstances and with Ella too, made me more miserable than ever - I mean this separation is the most painful one we have had. But there is nothing to be done, God knows what is good for us, we must bow down our heads and repeat the sacred words ‘Thy will be done.’ I don’t know but I feel so quiet before arriving today there, that is the fulfilment of ‘our friend’s’ promise. I tried to pray very fervently last night and this morning and that has also brought comfort to my soul.
After dinner it rained yesterday, but now it is lovely, quite warm and sunny. If it is so for the manoeuvres it will be simply delicious. There has been no talk yet. I sat much with Misha or read in my cabin. We walked at several stations. It is 11 o’clock in the evening - the first part of the programme is finished. The first speech went off very well, but in the beginning one I stuck and could not for the life remember what I wanted to say. But in the end after a desperate attempt to speak, I succeeded in producing the second half of my speech, which was perhaps enough after all. The heat in the room was terrific.
Now it is late, my sweet Sunny, I must finish my letter by pressing you tenderly to my heart. God bless you, my darling and our sweet children. Misha kisses you very lovingly. I shall write every day.
Ever your own loving and devoted Nicky.”
- Nicholas to Alexandra Feodorovna, 29th August/11th September 1902
“My own beloved one,
With what intense joy I received your precious letter this morning. Thank you for it with all my heart. Yes, indeed, sweetie, this parting has been one of the hardest, but every day brings us nearer to our meeting again. How anguishing the moment of the speeches must have been. Your precious letter and telegrams I’ve put on our bed so that when I wake up in the night I can touch something of yours.
Fancy an old married woman speaking so - ‘old fashioned’ many would say. But what would life be without love - what would have become of Wify without you? You, my beloved treasure, the joy of my heart. To keep the children quiet, I made them think of things and then guess them. Olga always thinks of the sun, clouds, sky, rain or something belonging to the heavens, explaining to me that it makes her so happy to think of that.
Now, my pet, goodbye, God bless and keep you. A hearty kiss, sweet one, from your tenderly loving and devoted Wify, Alix.”
- Alexandra to Nicholas, 31st August/13th September

The duty in the family is selfless love. Everyone should forget about their “I”, devoting themselves to the other. Everyone should blame themselves, not the other, when something goes wrong. Endurance and patience are necessary, impatience can ruin everything. A harsh words can slow down the merging of souls for months. There should be a desire on both sides to make the marriage happy and overcome everything that hinders it. The strongest love needs its daily strengthening most of all. Most of all, rudeness is unforgivable in our home, in relation to those we love.

“Baby had a better night 36°. 9:00-10:00 Anastasia: Isaiah 38-42. Sat with Baby. Played cards & worked.12:15-1:00 Maria: J. Sirach 18-26. After luncheon the Com. Yakovlev came as I wanted to arrange about the walk to Church for Passion Week. Instead of that he announced by the order of his government (Bolsheviks) that he has to take us all away (to where?) Seeing as Baby is too ill wished to take Nicholas alone (if not willing then obliged to use force) I had to decide to stay with ill Baby or accompany him. Settled to accompany him as can be of more need & too risky not knowing where & for what. (we imagine Moscow) Horrible suffering.
Marie comes with us, Olga will look after Baby, Tatiana the household & Anastasia will cheer all up. Take Valia, Niuta, Yevgeny Sergeevich offered to go. Chemodurov & Sednyov [sic]. 10:30. Took meals with Baby, put few things together, quite small luggage. Took leave of all our people. After evening tea with all. Sat all night with the Children. Baby slept & at 3 went to him til we left. Started at 4:30 in the morning. Horrid to leave precious children. 3 of our rifles went with us.”
