PART TWO - GOING TO SCHOOL?
CHAPTER TWO
Going to School?
Later, the servants told me that the doctor had spoken to Mrs.
Reed 2 about me. Mrs. Reed had agreed that I should go away to
school, Mrs. Reed's servant, Mrs. Abbott, said Mrs. Reed would
be happy to send me away. She told me that my father had been
a poor man. He [-----1-----] my uncle's sister, Miss Jane Reed
of Gateshead. She was my mother. The Reed family was so angry
that they never spoke 1 to my mother again. Sadly, only a year
after their wedding, both my parents died of a sickness and
left me alone when I was only a baby.
But many weeks passed and Mrs. Reed did not send me away to
school. One day when she was scolding 3 me I asked her a [-----
2-----] question.
"Aunt, what would Uncle Reed say to you if he were alive?" I
asked.
"What did you say to me?" cried Mrs. Reed. Her small, cold
gray eyes were afraid. She stared at me as if I knew something
she did not know.
"My uncle Reed is now in heaven, and he knows everything you
think and do. So do my parents. They know how you are cruel to
me, and how you hate me!"
Mrs. Reed [-----3-----] my face and left me without saying
anything. Bessie scolded 4 me and said I was the worst child in
the country for saying such things. Truly, with so much hate
in my heart, I did fell terrible.
Christmas came, but I received no gifts or new clothes. Every
evening I watched Eliza and Georgiana putting on their new
dresses and going out to parties.
Sometimes Bessie would visit me in my bedroom. She would bring
me a piece of cake, or tell me a story. When she was kind to
me I thought she was the best person in the world.
Unfortunately she did not always have time for me.
