Chapter 3: A New Beginning I was taken to a room with a big bed. A kind servant gave me something to drink. She helped me lie down and covered me with a blanket. I felt tired and fell asleep.
When I woke up, I saw a strange face. It was a doctor. He asked me some questions and looked at my head. He said I would be fine. Aunt Reed came to see me. She looked serious but not angry. She said, “You will be leaving soon.” I asked, “Where am I going?”
“To a school,” she replied. “It is called Lowood School.” “You must learn to behave well there.” I was both afraid and excited.
The next day, Bessie helped me pack my things. She gave me a hug and said goodbye. I thanked her for being kind to me. Then a carriage came to take me away. |
