JANE EYRE
A woman met me in
Lowood school. She took my things and we
walked to a big house. We went into the house. A teacher came and took me by
the hand. The woman went away with my things and the teacher took me into a
long room with a lot of large tables round it. Girls of nine to twelve years
old sat on benches round the tables. They all had brown dresses on. It was dark
and cold in the room. "Sit down on
one of the benches," said the teacher. "The girls are learning their
lessons for tomorrow. They will soon finish and you will have supper. Then you
will go to bed."
For supper we had a piece of
bread and some water. After that we marched
to the bedroom. It was a large room with many beds. Two girls slept in each
bed. In ten minutes the teacher took
away the light.
The night passed quickly. In
the morning it was very cold in the room. We washed our faces in water with ice. Then we marched to the cold
schoolroom where lessons began. We read the Bible and did exercises in our
exercise-books. This lasted for an
hour. Then we marched to another room for breakfast. After breakfast there was
reading, writing, history and
geography. Before dinner we went into the cold, windy garden for an hour.
For dinner we had some bad
meat and potatoes. I ate what. I could. Then we marched back to the schoolroom
and had our lessons till five o’clock.
The next day began as
before, but we could not wash. The water in the washroom was ice.
During January, February and
March there was much snow in the garden. We had no boots and could not walk
far. The rooms were very cold. The food was bad and in spring many of the
pupils were ill with typhus. In May
Lowood school was a hospital. We had no lessons. Many pupils went home and died
there. Some girls died in the school.
