1"You'd better hold your tongue, now," he answered fiercely. And his agitation precluded further speech; he advanced
2hastily to the entrance, where I made way for him to pass. But ere he had crossed the door-stones, Mr. Heathcliff,
3coming up the causeway, encountered him, and laying hold of his shoulder asked,--"What's to do now, my lad?" "Naught,
4naught," he said, and broke away to enjoy his grief and anger in solitude. Heathcliff gazed after him, and sighed. "It
5will be odd if I thwart myself," he muttered, unconscious that I was behind him. "But when I look for his father in his
6face, I find her every day more! How the devil is he so like? I can hardly bear to see him." He bent his eyes to the
7ground, and walked moodily in. There was a restless, anxious expression in his countenance, I had never remarked there
8before; and he looked sparer in person. His daughter-in-law, on perceiving him through the window, immediately escaped
9to the kitchen, so that I remained alone. "I'm glad to see you out of doors again, Mr. Lockwood," he said, in reply to
10my greeting; "from selfish motives partly: I don't think I could readily supply your loss in this desolation. I've
11wondered more than once what brought you here." "An idle whim, I fear, sir," was my answer; "or else an idle whim is
12going to spirit me away. I shall set out for London next week; and I must give you warning that I feel no disposition to
13retain Thrushcross Grange beyond the twelve months I agreed to rent it. I believe I shall not live there any more." "Oh,
14indeed; you're tired of being banished from the world, are you?" he said. "But if you be coming to plead off paying for
15a place you won't occupy, your journey is useless: I never relent in exacting my due from any one." "I'm coming to plead
16off nothing about it," I exclaimed, considerably irritated. "Should you wish it, I'll settle with you now," and I drew
17my note-book from my pocket. "No, no," he replied, coolly; "you'll leave sufficient behind to cover your debts, if you
18fail to return: I'm not in such a hurry. Sit down and take your dinner with us; a guest that is safe from repeating his
19visit can generally be made welcome. Catherine! bring the things in: where are you?" Catherine reappeared, bearing a
20tray of knives and forks. "You may get your dinner with Joseph," muttered Heathcliff, aside, "and remain in the kitchen
21till he is gone." She obeyed his directions very punctually: perhaps she had no temptation to transgress. Living among
22clowns and misanthropists, she probably cannot appreciate a better class of people when she meets them. With Mr.
23Heathcliff, grim and saturnine, on the one hand, and Hareton, absolutely dumb, on the other, I made a somewhat cheerless
24meal, and bade adieu early. I would have departed by the back way, to get a last glimpse of Catherine and annoy old
25Joseph; but Hareton received orders to lead up my horse, and my host himself escorted me to the door, so I could not
26fulfil my wish. "How dreary life gets over in that house!" I reflected, while riding down the road. "What a realisation
27of something more romantic than a fairy tale it would have been for Mrs. Linton Heathcliff, had she and I struck up an
28attachment, as her good nurse desired, and migrated together into the stirring atmosphere of the town!"
