　　PART TWO - GOING TO SCHOOL

　　CHAPTER TWO

　　GOING TO SCHOOL?

　　One morning in the middle of January, Bessie told me a visitor wanted to see me. Who could it be? When I entered the breakfast-room I saw a tall, thin man dressed all in black. He had a cold face like a stone.

　　"This is the little girl I wrote to you about," said Mrs. Reed to the stranger.

　　"Well, Jane Eyre," said the stranger, "are you a good child?"

　　It was impossible to say yes, with Mrs. Reed sitting there, so I was silent.

　　"No, she is a terrible child, Mr. Brocklehurst," said Mrs. Reed, shaking her head.

　　"I'm sorry to hear that," he answered. "Come here, Jane Eyre, and answer my questions. Where do bad people go after death?"

　　"They go to Hell," I answered.

　　"And how will you keep away from Hell?" he asked.

　　"I must keep in good health, and not die," I said after a moment.

　　"Wrong! Another question: Do you enjoy reading the Bible?"
