to strike a young gentleman, your benefactress's son! Your young master.” 4 "Master! How is he my master? Am I a servant?" 5 "No; you are less than a servant, for you do nothing for your keep. There, sit down, and think over your wickedness." 6 They had got me by this time into the apartment indicated by Mrs. Reed, and had thrust me upon a stool: my impulse was to rise from it like a spring; their two pair of hands arrested me instantly. What did Jane do that caused her to be locked in the room? A) Stole from her mistress B) Refused to do her chores C) Spoke rudely to her mistress D) Struck her mistress’s son
