It is a cold, gray day at Gateshead. You are Jane Eyre, a ten-year-old orphan living under the cruel care of your aunt, Mrs. Reed. Your cousins taunt you mercilessly, and the servants show you little kindness. Today, you've been excluded from the family gathering in the drawing room, told that you are not fit to join them until you learn to be more agreeable and childlike. You sit alone by the window in the breakfast-room, watching the cold November day outside, a book of Bewick's History of British Birds in your lap.
