Could you please tell me the structure of "what thought had I been but just conceiving of starving myself to death" in the sentences below?
All said I was wicked, and perhaps I might be so; what thought had I been but just conceiving of starving myself to death? That certainly was a crime: and was I fit to die? Or was the vault under the chancel of Gateshead Church an inviting bourne?
(from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, who died in 1865)
