"No,I'm sorry, Jane," she said,looking at me as if I was a rat on the floor. "Until I know that you are really trying to be good and quiet,I will not treat you like one of my children. They are good!" "What did Bessie tell you? What have I done? "I asked. "Jane Eyre,do not ask me any more questions. You must do what you are told. If you cannot speak nicely and obey be quiet! " After she left me I went into the little room next door. I got a picture book from the shelf and climbed on to the windowseat, closing the curtains around me. Now no one could find me. I stared out the window at the cold,gray November day. The rain fell hard on the garden, which had no leaves or flowers.Then I looked at the picture book. I was inside a world of imagination. For a while,I forgot my sad, lonely life and felt a little happier. I was only afraid that the Reed children might find me. Because they were cruel to me,I tried to talk to them as little as I could.
