Jane wakes up in the nursery, cared for by
Bessie, and by the local apothecary,
Mr. Lloyd. Bessie tells Jane that she thinks that Mrs. Reed mistreated her, nurses Jane, and even sings Jane a song, but Jane is melancholy and unreachable. Jane only feels better when she gets a book—
Gulliver's Travels, a fanciful satire by Jonathan Swift, which she believes is a factual story of distant places.
