In the book Jane Eyre when Jane was punished what made her hold her tears back?

One would have to be more specific. This is a real heavy one. What was she punished for? was she a child or an adult. My guess she may have held back her tears- and in women a certain amount of lachrymotor activity ( at funerals and other sad event) is generally considered normal- by a fear of the somewhat disturbing-a most unlikely love interest Mr. Rochester,. ( No, not the butler-aid of Jack Benny!) I always found this a most disturbing story- knowing how it comes out. Rochester was a kook.
