[00:42.61]The wind had brought dark clouds and heavy rain, [00:48.85]so it was impossible to take a walk. [00:54.00]Eliza,John and Georgiana were gathered round their mother in the sitting-room. [01:03.06]She lay on a sofa by the fireside, [01:08.83]looking perfectly happy with her darlings about her. [01:15.49]But she told me not to come near them because I was not a good child. [01:22.55]I went to a small room next to the drawing-room. [01:29.21]Taking a book from a bookcase,I climbed up into the window-seat. [01:37.46]Here I sat behind the curtains and started reading. [01:44.02]I was quite happy until I heard the voice of John Reed. [01:51.39]"Where is she?" he said,calling to his sisters. [01:58.54]"Eliza! Georgiana! Jane is not here." [02:04.29]I was glad that I had drawn the curtains, [02:10.17]and I prayed that I should not be discovered. [02:15.21]But Eliza was quicker than John. [02:20.46]She said at once,"She is in the window-seat of course." [02:27.62]I came out immediately. [02:32.06]"What do you want?"I asked. [02:36.73]"Say 'What do you want,Master Reed',"was his reply. [02:43.50]"I want you to come here," he added. [02:48.18]And he sat down in an armchair. [02:52.62]John Reed was a schoolboy of fourteen: [02:57.89]four years older than I,for I was only ten. [03:04.45]He was big and stout for his age,with a large face and an unhealthy skin. [03:13.10]John had not much love for his mother and sisters,but he really hated me. [03:21.87]As I came up to his chair, [03:26.42]he spent about three minutes in putting out his tongue at me. [03:32.48]Then he hit me suddenly and hard. [03:37.52]"What were you doing behind the curtains?" [03:42.56]"I was reading." "Show me the book." [03:47.81]I returned to the window and brought the book. [03:53.85]"You have no business to read our books,"John Reed continued. [04:01.79]"You are a dependent Mama says. [04:06.23]Your father left you no money. [04:10.67]You ought to beg,and not live with a gentleman's children. [04:16.86]Go and stand by the door."I did so. [04:23.03]I turned round and saw that he was going to throw the book at me. [04:29.87]I tried to avoid it,but it was too late. [04:35.51]I was knocked over and fell against the door, [04:40.66]striking my head and cutting it badly. [04:46.01]The pain was very sharp. [04:49.78]"Wicked,cruel boy!"I said. [04:54.74]"You are like a murderer--you are like a slave-driver! [05:00.98]"What!" he cried. [05:05.21]"What did you say to me?Did you hear her,Eliza and Georgiana? [05:11.56]I'll tell Mama.But first-- [05:16.42]"He ran at me and grasped my hair and my shoulder. [05:22.19]But I was desperate now. [05:26.14]I don't know what I did with my hands,but I heard him cry for help. [05:33.90]Mrs.Reed came."Take her away to the red room and lock her in,"she said. [05:43.85]Four hands then quickly carried me upstairs. [05:49.88]"For shame!" cried the maid."To strike a gentleman,your young master!" [05:58.71]"Master? How is he my master? Am I a servant?" [06:06.65]"You ought to know,Miss," said the nurse, [06:12.11]"that you owe much to Mrs.Reed.She keeps you. [06:18.31]If she turns you away,you will have to go to the poor-house." [06:25.36]These words were not new to me; so I did not answer. [06:31.92]Notes to the Text [06:43.17]It was a winter day.
