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 slate¹ 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 liar²!"
"How terrible!" said the two Brocklehurst daughters.
"I learned this," continued the man, "from Mrs. Reed³, 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!"
