  1. Here is a sentence from the chapter. “How could you be so stupid, Heidi? Have you lost your senses?” the aunt went on, with a tone mingled with vexation and reproach.
  2. You probably don’t know what vexation and reproach are. That’s okay to not know some words. Her “tone” is how her voice sounded. From what she said to Heidi, can you imagine what her voice sounded like?  I bet you can. You don’t always have to know the words to understand them. You know she sounds upset. If someone is vexed, they are frustrated and annoyed. They are upset. To reproach someone is to scold them. Basically she’s angry with Heidi, but you knew that, even if you didn’t know those two words. When you don’t know a word, don’t get stuck. Keep reading and the sentence will probably help explain what the word means.
