1"I told you we laughed," he answered. "The Lintons heard us, and with one accord they shot like arrows to the door;
2there was silence, and then a cry, 'Oh, mamma, mamma! Oh, papa! Oh, mamma, come here. Oh, papa, oh!' They really did
3howl out something in that way. We made frightful noises to terrify them still more, and then we dropped off the ledge,
4because somebody was drawing the bars, and we felt we had better flee. I had Cathy by the hand, and was urging her on,
5when all at once she fell down. 'Run, Heathcliff, run!' she whispered. 'They have let the bull-dog loose, and he holds
6me!' The devil had seized her ankle, Nelly: I heard his abominable snorting. She did not yell out--no! she would have
7scorned to do it, if she had been spitted on the horns of a mad cow. I did, though: I vociferated curses enough to
8annihilate any fiend in Christendom; and I got a stone and thrust it between his jaws, and tried with all my might to
9cram it down his throat. A beast of a servant came up with a lantern, at last, shouting--'Keep fast, Skulker, keep
10fast!' He changed his note, however, when he saw Skulker's game. The dog was throttled off; his huge, purple tongue
11hanging half a foot out of his mouth, and his pendent lips streaming with bloody slaver. The man took Cathy up; she was
12sick: not from fear, I'm certain, but from pain. He carried her in; I followed, grumbling execrations and vengeance.
13'What prey, Robert?' hallooed Linton from the entrance. 'Skulker has caught a little girl, sir,' he replied; 'and
14there's a lad here,' he added, making a clutch at me, 'who looks an out-and-outer! Very like the robbers were for
15putting them through the window to open the doors to the gang after all were asleep, that they might murder us at their
16ease. Hold your tongue, you foul-mouthed thief, you! you shall go to the gallows for this. Mr. Linton, sir, don't lay by
17your gun.' 'No, no, Robert,' said the old fool. 'The rascals knew that yesterday was my rent-day: they thought to have
18me cleverly. Come in; I'll furnish them a reception. There, John, fasten the chain. Give Skulker some water, Jenny. To
19beard a magistrate in his stronghold, and on the Sabbath, too! Where will their insolence stop? Oh, my dear Mary, look
20here! Don't be afraid, it is but a boy--yet the villain scowls so plainly in his face; would it not be a kindness to the
21country to hang him at once, before he shows his nature in acts as well as features?' He pulled me under the chandelier,
22and Mrs. Linton placed her spectacles on her nose and raised her hands in horror. The cowardly children crept nearer
23also, Isabella lisping--'Frightful thing! Put him in the cellar, papa. He's exactly like the son of the fortune-teller
24that stole my tame pheasant. Isn't he, Edgar?' "While they examined me, Cathy came round; she heard the last speech, and
25laughed. Edgar Linton, after an inquisitive stare, collected sufficient wit to recognise her. They see us at church, you
26know, though we seldom meet them elsewhere. 'That's Miss Earnshaw!' he whispered to his mother, 'and look how Skulker
27has bitten her--how her foot bleeds!' "'Miss Earnshaw? Nonsense!' cried the dame; 'Miss Earnshaw scouring the country
28with a gipsy! And yet, my dear, the child is in mourning--surely it is--and she may be lamed for life!' "'What culpable
29carelessness in her brother!' exclaimed Mr. Linton, turning from me to Catherine. 'I've understood from Shielders'"
30(that was the curate, sir) "'that he lets her grow up in absolute heathenism. But who is this? Where did she pick up
31this companion? Oho! I declare he is that strange acquisition my late neighbour made, in his journey to Liverpool--a
32little Lascar, or an American or Spanish castaway.' "'A wicked boy, at all events,' remarked the old lady, 'and quite
33unfit for a decent house! Did you notice his language, Linton? I'm shocked that my children should have heard it.' "I
34recommenced cursing--don't be angry, Nelly--and so Robert was ordered to take me off. I refused to go without Cathy; he
35dragged me into the garden, pushed the lantern into my hand, assured me that Mr. Earnshaw should be informed of my
36behaviour, and, bidding me march directly, secured the door again. The curtains were still looped up at one corner, and
37I resumed my station as spy; because, if Catherine had wished to return, I intended shattering their great glass panes
38to a million of fragments, unless they let her out. She sat on the sofa quietly. Mrs. Linton took off the grey cloak of
39the dairy-maid which we had borrowed for our excursion, shaking her head and expostulating with her, I suppose: she was
40a young lady, and they made a distinction between her treatment and mine. Then the woman-servant brought a basin of warm
41water, and washed her feet; and Mr. Linton mixed a tumbler of negus, and Isabella emptied a plateful of cakes into her
42lap, and Edgar stood gaping at a distance. Afterwards, they dried and combed her beautiful hair, and gave her a pair of
43enormous slippers, and wheeled her to the fire; and I left her, as merry as she could be, dividing her food between the
44little dog and Skulker, whose nose she pinched as he ate; and kindling a spark of spirit in the vacant blue eyes of the
45Lintons--a dim reflection from her own enchanting face. I saw they were full of stupid admiration; she is so
46immeasurably superior to them--to everybody on earth, is she not, Nelly?" "There will more come of this business than
47you reckon on," I answered, covering him up and extinguishing the light. "You are incurable, Heathcliff; and Mr. Hindley
48will have to proceed to extremities, see if he won't." My words came truer than I desired. The luckless adventure made
49Earnshaw furious. And then Mr. Linton, to mend matters, paid us a visit himself on the morrow, and read the young master
50such a lecture on the road he guided his family, that he was stirred to look about him, in earnest. Heathcliff received
51no flogging, but he was told that the first word he spoke to Miss Catherine should ensure a dismissal; and Mrs. Earnshaw
52undertook to keep her sister-in-law in due restraint when she returned home; employing art, not force: with force she
53would have found it impossible.
