Description: After being embarrassed by Mr. Brocklehurst in front of the class, Jane went away into the corner crying. Helen Burns found her first, and comforted her, then the two girls were found by Miss Temple, a teacher at the school. Miss Temple was a kind young woman and brought the girls into her office and gave them tea, reassuring them. She told Jane that she would write to the doctor that recommended Jane go to school and find out the truth and absolve her of the claims made against her by Mr. Brocklehurst.
