Jane Eyre

I have one question:

Did Charlotte Bronte have a word requirement?

As in, at least "X" number of words?

188,209.

I looked it up.
A Tale of Two Cities is only
135,420
and that had 2 cities!
Jane Eyre only has shires. 

The median word count for a novel is

99,341.

Looked that up too.

I'm just sayin'....

I thought I was long winded.
