PART TWO - THE SCHOOLGIRL
CHAPTER FIVE
Mr. Brocklehurst's Visit

The Brocklehurst family stood up and move slowly out of the

schoolroom. At the door, the man turned and said,
"She must stand half an hour longer on that chair, and nobody

may speak to her for the rest of the day."
So there I was standing on the chair. Feelings of [-----1----

-] and anger burned inside me, but just when I thought I would

cry, Helen Burns walked past me and lifted her eyes to mine.

Her look [-----2-----] me. What a smile she had! It was an

intelligent, brave smile, lighting up her thin face and her

tired eyes.
At five o'clock all the girls left the schoolroom. When I was

sure no one could hear me, I climbed down from the chair and

sat on the floor. I [-----3-----] felt strong or calm, and I

began to cry bitterly. I had wanted so much to make friends

and be happy at Lowood. Now nobody would believe me or perhaps

even speak to me. Could I ever start a new life after this?
"Never!" I cried to myself. "I wish I were dead!" Just then

Helen arrived, bringing my coffee and bread. I was too upset

to eat or drink, but she sat with me and talked gently to me.

she helped me to stop crying, and feel a little better. When

Miss Temple came to look for me, she found us sitting quietly

together.
