Excerpt from Jane Eyre (#3)

Charlotte Bronte

14 Bessie answered not; but ere long, addressing me, she said - - "You ought to be aware, Miss, that you are under obligations to Mrs. Reed: she keeps you: if she were to turn you off, you would have to go to the poorhouse."

15 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.

Where would Jane have to go if Mrs. Reed did not support her?

A) To the poorhouse

B) To boarding school

C) To another country

D) To live on the streets
