Fictional Jane who said "I would always rather be happy than dignified" (4)

I believe the answer is:

eyre

(Other definitions for eyre that I've seen before include "See 17 Across" , "Jane . . . ., . . . . Square" , "Galway square" , "Charlotte Bronte's Jane" , "mediaeval court" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
