At first Mr. Brocklehurst spoke very quietly to Miss Temple. I could hear him, because I was in the front of the class. "Miss Temple," he said,"I am told that you gave a lunch of bread and cheese to the girls recently.Why did you do that? It is not in the rules!" "Well, sir,"said Miss Temple,"the breakfast was so badly cooked that the girls couldn't possibly eat it,and they were hungry." "Miss Temple,listen to me.You know that these girls must become strong,patient and unselfish... If they do not have some little thing, do not give it to them.Tell them to be brave and suffer,like Christ Himself.Remember what the Bible says.Man does not live by bread alone,but by the word of God! When you put bread into these children's mouths,you feed their bodies but you starve their souls!"
