What had just passed; what Mrs. Reed had said concerning me to Mr. Brocklehurst; the whole tenor of their conversation, was recent, raw, and stinging in my mind; I had felt every word as acutely as I had heard it plainly, and a passion of resentment fomented now within me.
Ami az imént történt: amit Mrs. Reed mondott rólam Mr. Brocklehurstnek, a beszélgetés hangja még friss, lüktető fájdalommal égette agyamat. Minden egyes szót hallani véltem újra, és lázadoztam az elszenvedett bántalom miatt.
