Soon after five p.m. we had another meal, consisting of a small mug
of coffee, and half-a-slice of brown bread. I devoured my bread and
drank my coffee with relish; but I should have been glad of as much
more--I was still hungry. Half-an-hour's recreation succeeded, then
study; then the glass of water and the piece of oat-cake, prayers,
and bed. Such was my first day at Lowood.
