Miss. Honey is a delicate person. She "was a mild and quiet person who never raised her voice and was seldom seen to smile..." Note how she describes her own abuse to Matilda,
But in the end I became so frightened of her I used to start shaking when she came into the room. You must understand I was never a strong character like you. I was always shy and retiring."
