In this chapter, Jim tries to convince Miss Bright that she's not his family. He tells her that he can't even call her by her filthy name, and that if she sees it from afar, it will look like a "grotesque monster" . He also tells her about how he stole her shoes so that he'd have something to remember her by, and how he cut her hair so that she wouldn't have to work on the farm while he's there. Jim also tells Miss Bright about the orphanage that she works for, and about how many orphans there are in the world. He's sorry that he gave her money for her birthday gift, but he doesn't want to insult her. He just wants to explain everything to her.
