In Eleanor's presence friendship and pride had equally restrained her tears, but no sooner was she gone than they burst forth in torrents. Turned from the house, and in such a way! Without any reason that could justify, and apology that could atone for the abruptness, the rudeness, nay, the insolence of it. Henry at a distance; not able even to bid him farewell. Every hope, every expectation from him suspended, at least, and who could say how long? Who could say when they might meet again?

В прямом внутреннем монологе практически отсутствует какое-либо проявление авторского плана повествования. Преобладание плана персонажа выражается, прежде всего, в выборе синтаксических конструкций и в лексическом наполнении внутреннего монолога.

It is a fine encouragement to servants to be honest; and to be sure, if I have taken a little now and then, others have taken ten times as much; and now we are all put in a lump together. If so be that it be so, the legacy may go to the devil with him that gave it. … The devil shall wait upon such a gentleman for me." Much more of the like kind she muttered to herself; but this taste shall suffice to the reader [26, p. 180].
