PART TWO - THE SCHOOLGIRL
CHAPTER FIVE
Mr. Brocklehurst's Visit
While Mr. Brocklehurst was talking, I [-----1-----] my face
behind my writing alate so that he would not see me. But
suddenly the slate 1 fell from my hand and broke in two on the
hard floor! I knew what would happen next.
Mr. Broklehurst looked at me coldly.
"Come here, child."
I was too frightened to move, but two big girls pushed me
towards him. Miss Temple [-----2-----] to me, "don't be
afraid, Jane. I saw it was an accident." Her kindness made me
feel better, but I knew that soon she would hear the lies
about me, and then she would dislike me too.
"Put the child on that chair," said Mr. Brocklehurst. Some [-
----3-----] me up on to a high chair, so that I was close to
his nose. Frightened, I felt everyone's eyes on me.
"You see this girl?" said Mr. Brocklehurst. "She is young; she
looks like an ordinary child. But she is not. She is very
wicked! Children, don't talk to her, stay away from her.
Teachers, watch her carefully. You must punish her body to
save her soul-- if she has a soul. This child... I can hardly
say it... this child is a liar 2!"
"How terrible!" said the two Brocklehurst daughters.
"I learned this," continued the man, "from Mrs. Reed 3, the kind
lady who cared for her. In the end, Mrs. Reed was so afraid of
this child's bad ways that she had to send her here. So,
teachers, watch her carefully!"
