Going to School?

was good to be back in my room, which had a warm fire and

candlelight. I was also happy to se Dr¹. Lloyd, who was a very

kind man. He was the doctor that helped the servants at

Gateshead. he was taking care of me so kindly² that I felt he

would [-----1-----] me from Mrs. Reed³. He talked to me a

little, and then told Bessie to take good care of me. When he

left, I began to worry about what would happen.
But I was surprised to find that Bessie did not scold⁴ me at

all. In face she was so kind to me that I asked her a

question.
"Bessie, what's happened? Am I ill?"
"Yes, you became ill in the red room because you were

screaming so much and were so scared. Then she went next door

to talk to another servant. I heard what she said.
"Sarab, come here and sleep with that poor child and me

tonight. I can't stay alone with her. She was so ill last

night! Do you think she saw a ghost? Mrs. Reed was too hard on

her, I think."
So the two servants slept in my room. I did not sleep all

night, because I was imagining ghosts walking around the room

and trying to [-----2-----] me.
Fortunately, I was not very ill, but for the next few days I

was the [-----3-----] scared and sad, because of my terrible

experience. I cried all day long, and I could not eat or read

my favourite books, I knew I had no one to love me and nothing

to look forward to.
