[00:12.09]Lesson 30 Text LIFE AT GATESHEAD HALL
[00:31.92]LIFE AT GATESHEAD HALL
[00:37.25]It was a cold winter day.
[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.
