Read the excerpt from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë.
[Helen] "Then learn from me, not to judge by appearances: I am, as Miss Scatcherd said, slatternly; I seldom put, and never keep, things in order; I am careless; I forget rules; I read when I should learn my lessons; I have no method; and sometimes I say, like you, I cannot bear to be subjected to systematic arrangements. This is all very provoking to Miss Scatcherd, who is naturally neat, punctual, and particular.”
[Jane] "And cross and cruel,” I added; but Helen Burns would not admit my addition: she kept silence.
