PART TWO - GOING TO SCHOOL?
CHAPTER¹ TWO
Going to School?

When the doctor came again, he was surprised to see me looking

so miserable².
"Perhaps she's crying because she could not go out with Mrs.

Reed³ this morning," [-----1-----] Bessie.
"I think Miss Jane is smarter than that!" said the doctor,

smiling at me. He looked as if he knew how I felt about the

Reed family. "She is a big girl now." "I'm not crying about

that. I don't like going anywhere with them." I said. "I'm

crying because I'm miserable."
"Oh really, Miss Jane!" said Bessie.
The doctor looked at me for a few moments. He had gray

colored, [-----2-----] eyes. Just then a bell rang. It was

time for the servants to eat their dinner.
"You can go, Bessie," he said. "I'll talk to Miss Jane until

you come back."
After Bessie had left, he asked, "What really made you sick,

Jane?"
"I was locked in a room with a ghost, in the dark."
"Afraid of ghosts, are you?" he smiled.
"I'm afraid of Mr. Reed's ghost! He died in that room, you

know. Nobody ever goes in there any more. It was curel to lock

me in there alone without a candle. I shall⁴ never forget it!"
"But you're not afraid now. There is something else that is

making you sad, isn't there?" he said, looking kindly⁵ at me.
How could I tell him how unhappy my life was?!
"I have no father or mother, brothers or sisters," I said.
"But you have a kind aunt and [-----3-----]."
"No, the are not kind! John Reed hit me, and when I tried to

protect myself, my aunt locked me in the red room." I cried.
"Don't you like living in such a beautiful house?" he asked.
"I would be happy to leave it, but I have nowhere⁶ to go."
"You have no other family?"
"I think I may have some, who are very poor, but I know

nothing about them," I answered.
The doctor thought for a while. "Jane, would you like to go to

school?" he asked finally. I thought for a moment. I had never

been to a real school, but at least it would be a new life.
"yes, I would like to go," I said.
"Well, Well," the doctor said to me, "I will see what I can do

for you, Jane."
