1 I returned to the window and fetched it thence.
2 In guarantee whereof, I attached myself to my seat by my hands.
3 Miss Abbot turned to divest a stout leg of the necessary ligature.
4 The two ships becalmed on a torpid sea, I believed to be marine phantoms.
5 John had not much affection for his mother and sisters, and an antipathy to me.
6 Also I had drawn parallels in silence, which I never thought thus to have declared aloud.
7 I had nothing to say to these words: they were not new to me: my very first recollections of existence included hints of the same kind.
8 They will have a great deal of money, and you will have none: it is your place to be humble, and to try to make yourself agreeable to them.
9 I resisted all the way: a new thing for me, and a circumstance which greatly strengthened the bad opinion Bessie and Miss Abbot were disposed to entertain of me.
10 This room was chill, because it seldom had a fire; it was silent, because remote from the nursery and kitchen; solemn, because it was known to be so seldom entered.

15 Habitually obedient to John, I came up to his chair: he spent some three minutes in thrusting out his tongue at me as far as he could without damaging the roots: I knew he would soon strike, and while dreading the blow, I mused on the disgusting and ugly appearance of him who would presently deal it.
16 The words in these introductory pages connected themselves with the succeeding vignettes, and gave significance to the rock standing up alone in a sea of billow and spray; to the broken boat stranded on a desolate coast; to the cold and ghastly moon glancing through bars of cloud at a wreck just sinking.
17 I was glad of it: I never liked long walks, especially on chilly afternoons: dreadful to me was the coming home in the raw twilight, with nipped fingers and toes, and a heart saddened by the chidings of Bessie, the nurse, and humbled by the consciousness of my physical inferiority to Eliza, John, and Georgiana Reed.
