Mrs. Reed

Her mother was my husband's sister. On his deathbed he exhorted me to care for her. I've always treated her as one of my own. If you accept her at Lowood school, Mr. Brocklehurst, keep a strict eye on her. She has a heart of spite. I'm sorry to say that her worst fault is that of deceit.

Mr. Brocklehurst

You can rest assured that we shall root out the wickedness in this small, ungrateful plant.
