I agree with cameron on how its possible to see that Rochester is planning something big. When Rochester asks Jane to walk in the gardens with her she seems caught off guard, she seems not ready to hear what awaits. Rochester tells her that he has decided to marry Blanche. But without much hesistation Jane confesses her love to Rochester and he asks her to be his wife. The tables have turned into an unknown future to us now.

Well, part of what motivates Jane's confession of love is the belief that she's soon to be separated from him (this may be her last chance to speak her true feelings before departing for Ireland--or so she thinks). Maybe you should go back and re-read this chapter more closely (it could provide a good 'scene' for your formal explication).
