PART ONE - LIFE AT GATESHEAD
CHAPTER ONE
The Fight

As soon as we arrived in the red room, I became quiet again. I

knew that it was a mistake to fight John. The servants looked

at me angrily.
"Really, Miss Eyre," said Bessie, "how could you hit him? He's

your young master!"
"Why is he my master? I am not a servant!" I cried.
"No, Miss Eyre, you are not a servant. But you are less than

one, because you do not work here," said Miss Abbott. They

looked at me [-----1-----].
"You must remember, Miss Jane," said Bessie, "your aunt pays

for your food and clothes, and you should be grateful¹ to her.

You have no other family."
All my life people had told me this, and I could say nothing.

I stayed quiet, listening to these [-----2-----] words.
"And if you are angry and rude, Mrs. Reed² may send you away."

said Bessie.
Miss Abbott said, "God will [-----3-----] you, Jane Eyre, if

you're not careful. Pray to God, and say you're sorry!" They

left the room and locked the door behind them.
