chide - to
criticize
someone, or to speak to
them in an angry way because you think their
behaviour
is wrong
I was glad of it: I never liked long
walks, especially on chilly afternoons: dreadful to me was the coming home in
the raw twilight, with nipped fingers and toes, and a heart saddened by the chidings of Bessie, the nurse, and
humbled by the consciousness of my physical inferiority to Eliza, John, and
Georgiana Reed. (Jane Eyre: An Autobiography by charlotte Bronte)
