1Mrs. Linton's funeral was appointed to take place on the Friday following her decease; and till then her coffin remained
2uncovered, and strewn with flowers and scented leaves, in the great drawing-room. Linton spent his days and nights
3there, a sleepless guardian; and--a circumstance concealed from all but me--Heathcliff spent his nights, at least,
4outside, equally a stranger to repose. I held no communication with him; still, I was conscious of his design to enter,
5if he could; and on the Tuesday, a little after dark, when my master, from sheer fatigue, had been compelled to retire a
6couple of hours, I went and opened one of the windows; moved by his perseverance to give him a chance of bestowing on
7the faded image of his idol one final adieu. He did not omit to avail himself of the opportunity, cautiously and
8briefly; too cautiously to betray his presence by the slightest noise. Indeed, I shouldn't have discovered that he had
9been there, except for the disarrangement of the drapery about the corpse's face, and for observing on the floor a curl
10of light hair, fastened with a silver thread; which, on examination, I ascertained to have been taken from a locket hung
11round Catherine's neck. Heathcliff had opened the trinket and cast out its contents, replacing them by a black lock of
12his own. I twisted the two, and enclosed them together. Mr. Earnshaw was, of course, invited to attend the remains of
13his sister to the grave; he sent no excuse, but he never came; so that, besides her husband, the mourners were wholly
14composed of tenants and servants. Isabella was not asked. The place of Catherine's interment, to the surprise of the
15villagers, was neither in the chapel under the carved monument of the Lintons, nor yet by the tombs of her own
16relations, outside. It was dug on a green slope in a corner of the kirkyard, where the wall is so low that heath and
17bilberry-plants have climbed over it from the moor; and peat-mould almost buries it. Her husband lies in the same spot
18now; and they have each a simple headstone above, and a plain grey block at their feet, to mark the graves.
