past four , it was raining. Jane was afraid of the
ghost of Mr Reed . After a moment, a beam of light
shone on the wall. It was a lamp carried outside
across the garden, she shouted loudly, Bessie came
And asked her” is she is ill” ? Abbot entered “what a
terrible noise “? She begged to let her out . she asked
(Bessie) what for are you ill or hurt ? Jane said

called in by Mrs Reed when one of the servants is
ill. For herself and her children she employed a
proper doctor.
He said to jane that she will be better soon , Bessie

send Jane to school.

her mother had married , her grandfather had been so
angry that he had left her nothing when he died .and

spend all her holidays at Lowood. Mr Brocklehurst
gave jane a book of death of martha about a wicked
girl who told lies . Mr Brocklehurst left. Mrs Reed
told to Jane to leave the room. Jane left and came
again , Jane faced Mrs Reed with all her wickedness
and cruelty.As a result, Mrs Reed was shocked, and
felt a bit guilty.
Chapter 5
l)Mrs. Reed arranged for me to leave on the
nineteenth of January.
2) I had to get up very early to catch the coach, but
Bessie helped me to get ready."'Will you say
goodbye to Mrs. Reed, Jane?' she asked.
3)'NO, she said, I shouldn't disturb her so early.
4)Anyway, I don't want to say anything to her. She's
always hated me'
6) Oh, Miss Jane, don't say that"
7) Goodbye to Gateshead I shouted wildly, as we
walked together out of the front door, to wait for the
coach in the road.
8)lt arrived, pulled by four horses, and full of
passengers.
 9)The coachman took my luggage and called me to
hurry up.
10)ßessie kissed me for the last time as I held tightly
to her.

take care of her Fifty miles is a long way for a young
child to go alone'
12)”l will” he answered.
13)The door was closed, and the coach rolled off.
14)What a strange feeling to be leaving Gateshead,
my home for the whole of my childhood
15)Although I was sad to say goodbye to Bessie, I
was both excited and nervous about the new places I
would see, and the new people I would meet.
16)I do not remember much about the journey,
except that it seemed far too long.
17)We stopped for lunch, to change the horses.
18)Then in the afternoon I realized we were driving
through countryside.
19) I slept for a short time but was woken when the
coach stopped.
20)The door opened and a servant called in, 'Is there
a little girl called Jane Eyre here?'
21)Yes,' I answered, and was helped out of the coach
with my luggage.
Chapter 6
22)Tired and confused after the journey, I followed
the servant into a large building, where she left me
in a sitting-room.
23)ln came a tall lady, with dark hair and eyes, and a
large, pale forehead.
24)I discovered that she was Miss Temple, the
headmistress of Lowood School.
25)She looked at me carefully.
26)You are very young to be sent alone.
27)You look tired. Are you?' she asked, putting her
hand kindly on my shoulder.
28)'A little, mdam,' I replied.
29)'how Old are you, and what is your
name?'
30)l'm Jane Eyre, ma'am, and I'm ten years old.'
31)Well, I hope you will be a good child at school,'
she said, touching my cheek gently with her finger.

32)l was taken by a teacher, Miss Miller, through the

silent corridors of the large school, to the long, wide
schoolroom.
33)There about eighty girls, aged from nine to
twenty, sat doing their homework.
34)1 sat on a bench near the door, with my slate.
35)'Put away the lesson-books and fetch the supper-
trays" called Miss Miller.
36)Four tall girls removed all the books, then went
out and returned with trays which were handed
round.
37)Each child could have a drink of water out of the
shared cup, and could take a small piece of biscuit.
38)Then we all went quietly upstairs to the long,
crowded bedroom, where two children shared every
bed.
39)l had to share Miss Miller's, but I was so tired
that I fall asleep imediately.

40)ln the morning the ringing of a bell woke me,

although it was still dark.
41)1 got dressed quickly in the bitter cold of the
room, and washed when I could.
42)There was only one basin for six girls.
43)When the bell rang again, we all went
downstairs, two by two, and silently entered the
cold, badly lit schoolroom for prayers.
44)As the bell rang a third time to
indicate the beginning of lessons, the girls
moved into four groups around four tables, and the
teachers came into the room to start the Bible class.

which was burnt.
49) It was so disgusting that we could not eat it, so
we left the dining room with empty stomacks.

the day,when the pupils could play and talk freely.
51)We all complined about the food.
52) Lessons started again at nine O'clock and
finished at twelve, when Miss Temple stood up to
speak to the whole school.
53)'Girls, this morning you had a breakfast
Which you couldn't eat. You must be hungry, so I
have ordered a lunch of bread and cheese for you
all.'
54)The teachers looked at her in surprise.
55)Don’t worry, I take responsibility for it,' she told
them.
56)We were delighted, and all rushed out into the
garden to eat our lunch.
57)Nobody had taken any notice of me so far, but I
did not mind that.
58)I stood alone outside, watching some of the
stronger girls playing , trying to forget the bitter
cold, and thinking about my life.
62) I saw a girl near me reading a book.
64) She was Helen Burns.
65) She made conversation with Helen.
66) The bell rang and she left her.

classroom she was punished. She neither cried nor

Scatcherd , asked her some dificult history questions

She told hair that bec Mrs scatchered hit you . she
answered no she sees my faults.
Chapter 8
The first quarter at Lowood passes, and it is so cold
that the girls' feet get swollen from the walk in the
cold to church. The girls do not have sufficient
clothes for such weather, and they do not have
enough food. One day Mr. Brocklehurst arrives, and
Jane is scared that he will do as he had said and
speak against her to Miss Temple and the other
teachers. He asks Miss Temple why there was an
expense for bread and cheese, and when she tells
him that the girls had to go without breakfast, he
says that they should have, and that he is trying not
to accustom them to luxury but make them hardy
and self-reliant.
Jane tries to remain unnoticed by Mr. Brocklehurst,
but when she accidentally drops her slate to the
floor, he brings her up and makes her stand on a
stool in front of the class. He tells the class and the
teachers that Jane is a castaway, and that they should
shun her example and exclude her, as he learned
from her benefactress that she is deceitful. Mr.
Brocklehurst leaves the room, and Jane is to stand
on the stool for half an hour. She is only able to
stand it because she sees Helen and her smile.
Chapter 9
When the half-hour ends, the other girls have gone
to tea, and Jane gets off the stool and weeps. Helen
brings her coffee and bread, and tells her that the
others will not scorn her because of what happened,
as they do not like Mr. Brocklehurst. Soon Miss
Temple arrives and asks them to her room where she
gives them tea, bread and seed cake. Miss Temple
asks for Jane's side of the story. She tells of her life
at Gateshead, and when she mentions Mr. Lloyd,
Miss Temple says that she knows him and will write
to him to confirm her story, for while Miss Temple
believes Jane, the others may want proof. In about a
week, a return letter comes from Mr. Lloyd, and
Miss Temple tells the school that Jane has been
cleared of the charges against her. Jane does well at
the school, is soon promoted to a higher class, and in
two months starts French and drawing. She no
longer goes to bed imagining a hot supper, but
thinks about the work of her own hands in drawing.
She realizes that she would not trade the privations
of Lowood for the luxuries of Gateshead
Chapter 10
When spring comes, the hardships because of the
weather are lessened at Lowood. However, typhus
has struck the school, and the schoolroom and
dormitory are transformed into a hospital. Forty-five
of the eighty girls are sick, and many have left or
died. Those who are not sick are often left to
themselves, as is Jane. Helen has consumption, not
fever, and Jane thinks that this is a mild sickness and
will soon pass. She soon learns differently though,
and is told that Helen may soon not be with them.
When she is told that she cannot go and visit her,
Jane sneaks to Miss Temple's room (where Helen is
staying) in the middle of the night. Helen and Jane
talk, and Jane gets into bed with Helen. Helen tells
her that she will be going to God and has no regrets.
Jane asks her about God and Heaven, and they both
fall asleep. In the morning Jane awakens to a nurse
carrying her off, and later learns that Miss Temple
had returned to her room to find Jane there sleeping
with her arm around Helen, who had died.
Chapter 11
Chapter 10: While the first nine chapters cover
Jane's life through age ten, the next chapter covers
eight years in a page. When the public learns of how
many had died from typhus at the school and how
bad the food and clothes were, many wealthy
individuals come forth and build a new building and
make new regulations and improvements. While
Mr. Brocklehurst is still the treasurer, a committee of
more sympathetic men now aids him. Jane is there
eight years, six and a student and two as a teacher.
Miss Temple is there as superintendent the whole
time, and while at first she is like a mother and
governess to Jane, later they are companions.
When Miss Temple is married and leaves Lowood,
Jane suddenly realizes that there is a world outside
of the school that she wishes to enter. She puts an
ad in the paper saying that she is available as a
governess, and receives a reply from a Mrs. Fairfax
in Millcote. Mr. Brocklehurst says that they must
first write to Mrs. Reed to ask her permission, and a
letter is returned from Mrs. Reed saying that Jane
may do as she pleases.
The day before she is to go Jane gets a visit from
Bessie, who wants to see her before she leaves.
Bessie has married Robert, the coachman, and they
have a young girl and boy. Bessie is glad to hear
that Jane has done so well and has so many
accomplishments, but Jane can see that Bessie still
sees her as plain, and not a beauty. Bessie tells Jane
that seven years before a Mr. Eyre came to
Gateshead looking for her on his way to another
country. She says that she thinks it was her father's
brother and that he may be a wine merchant. The
next morning Jane sees Bessie for a short while and
then is off on the coach to her new life in Millcote.
Chapter 12
Chapter 11: Jane arrives at George Inn at Millcote,
and when she sees John, the coachman who is to
take her to Thornfield Hall, she thinks by the
plainness of the carriage that Mrs. Fairfax is not so
very dashing. When they arrive at Thornfield, Jane
is happy to see how kind Mrs. Fairfax is. Jane is
surprised to see how much attention her employer is
giving her, and Mrs. Fairfax says that she is so
happy that Jane has arrived, as now she will have
company besides the servants. Jane asks when she
will meet Miss Fairfax, and Mrs. Fairfax seems
surprised and says that Jane's student's name is Miss
Varens, and that she herself has no family. Mrs.
Fairfax shows Jane to her room and bids her
goodnight.
The next morning Jane rises and dresses plainly,
wishing that she were handsomer than she is. She
walks around the stately and grand house and
grounds and meets Mrs. Fairfax. Mrs. Fairfax says
that she wishes Mr. Rochester would reside there
more. She is surprised when Jane asks who Mr.
Rochester is, explaining that he is the owner of
Thornfield. When Jane tells her that she thought she
was the owner, Mrs. Fairfax says "What an idea,"
and explains that she is the housekeeper - the
manager. Miss Varens is explained to be Mr.
Rochester's ward, and when Adela Varens comes up,
Jane sees she is about seven or eight years old.
Adela has a French nurse and was born in France, so
she speaks French, but Jane has no problem
understanding her as she often spoke with the French
teacher at Lowood. At first Adela is quiet, but soon
she starts chattering on to Jane.
After breakfast, Adela and Jane go to the library to
use it as a schoolroom. Later Mrs. Fairfax gives
Jane a tour of the house, explaining that she keeps
everything clean and ready, for although Mr.
Rochester does not stay there much, his visits are
sudden and unexpected. The tour of the house
moves into the third story, and Jane finds it spooky,
asking if there are any ghosts at Thornfield Hall or
any ghost stories. Mrs. Fairfax says no, but as they
leave the attic, Jane hears a curious, mirthless laugh.
Mrs. Fairfax states that it must be one of the
servants, and calls out Grace Poole and tells her to
be quiet, explaining to Jane that Grace is there to do
some housemaid's work. Adele comes running to
meet them, and they have dinner in Mrs. Fairfax's
room.
Chapter 13
Chapter 12: Jane has been at Thornfield for a little
while now, and still believes that she will have a
smooth career there. She feels that she is making
reasonable progress with Adele although the girl has
no great talents. After working with her one day,
Jane takes a walk alone up to the third story. There
she looks out at the view and thinks about the world,
wishing she could have more interactions with it,
although she does enjoy the simple life at
Thornfield. When she comes up to the third story
such as this, she often hears Grace Poole's laugh, but
when she actually sees her, her appearance acts as a
damper to the curiosity raised by her laughing.
October, November and December pass, and one
day when Adele has a cold, Jane offers to walk to
Hay, two miles a way, to post a letter for Mrs.
Fairfax. It is a cold day, and when Jane sits down to
rest, she hears a horse coming. A dog runs by her,
and soon a man on a horse follows. The man passes
her, and she looks when she hears a noise to see that
the man and the horse have slipped on the ice. Jane
offers her help, and the man her where she lives.
She explains she is from Thornfield, and when he
asks about her master, replies that she has never met
him. She helps him onto the horse, and he continues
on and she goes on to Hay. When Jane returns to
Thornfield, she is surprised to see the dog in Mrs.
Fairfax's room. She asks a servant where it came
from, and she says that it came with Mr. Rochester,
who had just arrived with a sprained ankle.
