After a few months, many of the girls at Lowood School became seriously ill.
Lessons stopped and I and the other girls who were not ill spent all out time out in the fields near the school.
The weather was now warm and sunny.
It was a happy time for us, but my friend Helen Burns was not with us. She had to stay in bed. She was very ill.
One evening, I went to Miss Temple room. Helen Burns was lying there in a Little bed.
She was now very thin, and her face was White.
She spoke to me in a low voice.
-Jane-she said -It is good to see you. I want to say goodbye to you.
-Why?-I asked her-Are you going away?
-Yes, I am-Helen answered.-I am going far away-
That night she died.
During the summer, many other girls in the school died too.
MR B sold the school and it became a happier place.
I stayed in the school until I was eighteen and then I had to find a job.
I wanted to become a teacher.
I wrote a letter to a newspaper. I said I was a Young teacher, who wanted a job working in a family.
Then I waited for an answer.
At last, an answer came. It was from a lady, Mrs Fairfax, who lived at a place called Thornfield Hall.
She needed a teacher for a litttle girl.
So I packed my clothes in a small bag and travelled there...
