Again
I
reflected
:
I
scarcely
knew
what
school
was
:
Bessie
sometimes
spoke
of
it
as
a
place
where
young
ladies
sat
in
the
stocks
,
wore
backboards
,
and
were
expected
to
be
exceedingly
genteel
and
precise
:
John
Reed
hated
his
school
,
and
abused
his
master
;
but
John
Reed
's
tastes
were
no
rule
for
mine
,
and
if
Bessie
'
s
accounts
of
school-discipline
(
gathered
from
the
young
ladies
of
a
family
where
she
had
lived
before
coming
to
Gateshead
)
were
somewhat
appalling
,
her
details
of
certain
accomplishments
attained
by
these
same
young
ladies
were
,
I
thought
,
equally
attractive
.
She
boasted
of
beautiful
paintings
of
landscapes
and
flowers
by
them
executed
;
of
songs
they
could
sing
and
pieces
they
could
play
,
of
purses
they
could
net
,
of
French
books
they
could
translate
;
till
my
spirit
was
moved
to
emulation
as
I
listened
.
Besides
,
school
would
be
a
complete
change
:
it
implied
a
long
journey
,
an
entire
separation
from
Gateshead
,
an
entrance
into
a
new
life
.
"
I
should
indeed
like
to
go
to
school
,
"
was
the
audible
conclusion
of
my
musings
.
"
Well
,
well
!
who
knows
what
may
happen
?
"
said
Mr.
Lloyd
,
as
he
got
up
.
"
The
child
ought
to
have
change
of
air
and
scene
,
"
he
added
,
speaking
to
himself
;
"
nerves
not
in
a
good
state
.
"
Bessie
now
returned
;
at
the
same
moment
the
carriage
was
heard
rolling
up
the
gravel-walk
.
"
Is
that
your
mistress
,
nurse
?
"
asked
Mr.
Lloyd
.
"
I
should
like
to
speak
to
her
before
I
go
.
"
Bessie
invited
him
to
walk
into
the
breakfast-room
,
and
led
the
way
out
.
In
the
interview
which
followed
between
him
and
Mrs.
Reed
,
I
presume
,
from
after-occurrences
,
that
the
apothecary
ventured
to
recommend
my
being
sent
to
school
;
and
the
recommendation
was
no
doubt
readily
enough
adopted
;
for
as
Abbot
said
,
in
discussing
the
subject
with
Bessie
when
both
sat
sewing
in
the
nursery
one
night
,
after
I
was
in
bed
,
and
,
as
they
thought
,
asleep
,
"
Missis
was
,
she
dared
say
,
glad
enough
to
get
rid
of
such
a
tiresome
,
ill-conditioned
child
,
who
always
looked
as
if
she
were
watching
everybody
,
and
scheming
plots
underhand
.
"
Abbot
,
I
think
,
gave
me
credit
for
being
a
sort
of
infantine
Guy
Fawkes
.
On
that
same
occasion
I
learned
,
for
the
first
time
,
from
Miss
Abbot
's
communications
to
Bessie
,
that
my
father
had
been
a
poor
clergyman
;
that
my
mother
had
married
him
against
the
wishes
of
her
friends
,
who
considered
the
match
beneath
her
;
that
my
grandfather
Reed
was
so
irritated
at
her
disobedience
,
he
cut
her
off
without
a
shilling
;
that
after
my
mother
and
father
had
been
married
a
year
,
the
latter
caught
the
typhus
fever
while
visiting
among
the
poor
of
a
large
manufacturing
town
where
his
curacy
was
situated
,
and
where
that
disease
was
then
prevalent
:
that
my
mother
took
the
infection
from
him
,
and
both
died
within
a
month
of
each
other
.
Bessie
,
when
she
heard
this
narrative
,
sighed
and
said
,
"
Poor
Miss
Jane
is
to
be
pitied
,
too
,
Abbot
.
"
"
Yes
,
"
responded
Abbot
;
"
if
she
were
a
nice
,
pretty
child
,
one
might
compassionate
her
forlornness
;
but
one
really
can
not
care
for
such
a
little
toad
as
that
.
"
