1I did not close my eyes that night, nor did Mr. Linton: indeed, we never went to bed; and the servants were all up long
2before the usual hour, moving through the house with stealthy tread, and exchanging whispers as they encountered each
3other in their vocations. Every one was active but Miss Isabella; and they began to remark how sound she slept: her
4brother, too, asked if she had risen, and seemed impatient for her presence, and hurt that she showed so little anxiety
5for her sister-in-law. I trembled lest he should send me to call her; but I was spared the pain of being the first
6proclaimant of her flight. One of the maids, a thoughtless girl, who had been on an early errand to Gimmerton, came
7panting upstairs, open-mouthed, and dashed into the chamber, crying: "Oh, dear, dear! What mun we have next? Master,
8master, our young lady--" "Hold your noise!" cried I hastily, enraged at her clamorous manner. "Speak lower, Mary--What
9is the matter?" said Mr. Linton. "What ails your young lady?" "She's gone, she's gone! Yon' Heathcliff's run off wi'
10her!" gasped the girl. "That is not true!" exclaimed Linton, rising in agitation. "It cannot be: how has the idea
11entered your head? Ellen Dean, go and seek her. It is incredible: it cannot be." As he spoke he took the servant to the
12door, and then repeated his demand to know her reasons for such an assertion. "Why, I met on the road a lad that fetches
13milk here," she stammered, "and he asked whether we weren't in trouble at the Grange. I thought he meant for missis's
14sickness, so I answered, yes. Then says he, 'There's somebody gone after 'em, I guess?' I stared. He saw I knew nought
15about it, and he told how a gentleman and lady had stopped to have a horse's shoe fastened at a blacksmith's shop, two
16miles out of Gimmerton, not very long after midnight! and how the blacksmith's lass had got up to spy who they were: she
17knew them both directly. And she noticed the man--Heathcliff it was, she felt certain: nob'dy could mistake him,
18besides--put a sovereign in her father's hand for payment. The lady had a cloak about her face; but having desired a sup
19of water, while she drank it fell back, and she saw her very plain. Heathcliff held both bridles as they rode on, and
20they set their faces from the village, and went as fast as the rough roads would let them. The lass said nothing to her
21father, but she told it all over Gimmerton this morning." I ran and peeped, for form's sake, into Isabella's room;
22confirming, when I returned, the servant's statement. Mr. Linton had resumed his seat by the bed; on my re-entrance, he
23raised his eyes, read the meaning of my blank aspect, and dropped them without giving an order, or uttering a word. "Are
24we to try any measures for overtaking and bringing her back," I inquired. "How should we do?" "She went of her own
25accord," answered the master; "she had a right to go if she pleased. Trouble me no more about her. Hereafter she is only
26my sister in name: not because I disown her, but because she has disowned me." And that was all he said on the subject:
27he did not make a single inquiry further, or mention her in any way, except directing me to send what property she had
28in the house to her fresh home, wherever it was, when I knew it.
