PART ONE - LIFE AT GATESHEAD
CHAPTER ONE
The Fight

Suddenly the door opened. John Reed¹ ran in.
"Where are you, your little rat? " he said. He did not see my

hiding place. "Eliza! Georgy! I Jane is not here! Tell Mamma

she's gone outside - what a bad girl she is! "
"How lucky I [-----1-----] the curtain! " I thought. I knew he

would never find me, because he was very stupid. But his

sister Eliza was not stupid,and she knew exactly where I was.
"She's in the window [-----2-----]., John!" she said.

Immediately I came out, because I did not want them to be

angry with me. "What do you want?" I asked him.
"Say,what would you like,Master Reed? "he said, sitting in a

comfortable chair. "I want you to come here."
" John Reed was fourteen, and I was only ten. He was large,

ugly, and fat. He often [-----3-----] too much at meals which

made him look like a pig. Usually he was away at school, but

his mother had made him come home for a while, because she

thought his health was not good. He did not have anything to

do but fight with his sisters, get into troube with Bessie,

and treat me badly.
