PART ONE - LIFE AT GATESHEAD
CHAPTER ONE
The Fight


John did not love his mother or his sisters, and he hated me.


He was always cruel to me. Sometimes he hit me, and sometimes


he just [-----1-----] me. But I was always afraid when he was


near. I did not know how to make him treat me well. The


servants did not want to make him angry, so they did whatever


he wanted. Mrs. Reed 1, his mother, loved him too much and


thought he never did anything wrong.
While I walked over to John I thought about how ugly he was. I


think he knew what I was thinking, because he suddenly hit me


hard on the face.
"That is for your rudeness to Mamma just now," he said,"and


for hiding, and for looking at me like that, you dirty little


rat!" I was too afraid of John to hit him back.
"Now, what were you doing behind that curtain?" he asked.
"I was reading," I answered softly 2.
"Give me the book." I have it to him.
"You can't touch these books!" he said."You have no money,


because your father gave you nothing when he died. You're


nothing but a poor [-----2-----]. You ought to beg in the


city, not live here with a [-----3-----] family. Anyway, all


these books are mine, and so is the whole house! I'll teach


you not to touch my things again!" Before I could run away, he


lifted the heavy book and threw it hard at me.
