1"No! What a shame of your mother, never to waken your filial regard for me! You are my son, then, I'll tell you; and
2your mother was a wicked slut to leave you in ignorance of the sort of father you possessed. Now, don't wince, and
3colour up! Though it is something to see you have not white blood. Be a good lad; and I'll do for you. Nelly, if you be
4tired you may sit down; if not, get home again. I guess you'll report what you hear and see to the cipher at the Grange;
5and this thing won't be settled while you linger about it." "Well," replied I, "I hope you'll be kind to the boy, Mr.
6Heathcliff, or you'll not keep him long; and he's all you have akin in the wide world, that you will ever
7know--remember." "I'll be very kind to him, you needn't fear," he said, laughing. "Only nobody else must be kind to him:
8I'm jealous of monopolising his affection. And, to begin my kindness, Joseph, bring the lad some breakfast. Hareton, you
9infernal calf, begone to your work. Yes, Nell," he added, when they had departed, "my son is prospective owner of your
10place, and I should not wish him to die till I was certain of being his successor. Besides, he's mine, and I want the
11triumph of seeing my descendant fairly lord of their estates; my child hiring their children to till their fathers'
12lands for wages. That is the sole consideration which can make me endure the whelp: I despise him for himself, and hate
13him for the memories he revives! But that consideration is sufficient: he's as safe with me, and shall be tended as
14carefully as your master tends his own. I have a room upstairs, furnished for him in handsome style; I've engaged a
15tutor, also, to come three times a week, from twenty miles' distance, to teach him what he pleases to learn. I've
16ordered Hareton to obey him: and in fact I've arranged everything with a view to preserve the superior and the gentleman
17in him, above his associates. I do regret, however, that he so little deserves the trouble: if I wished any blessing in
18the world, it was to find him a worthy object of pride; and I'm bitterly disappointed with the whey-faced, whining
19wretch!" While he was speaking, Joseph returned bearing a basin of milk-porridge, and placed it before Linton: who
20stirred round the homely mess with a look of aversion, and affirmed he could not eat it. I saw the old man-servant
21shared largely in his master's scorn of the child; though he was compelled to retain the sentiment in his heart, because
22Heathcliff plainly meant his underlings to hold him in honour. "Cannot ate it?" repeated he, peering in Linton's face,
23and subduing his voice to a whisper, for fear of being overheard. "But Maister Hareton nivir ate naught else, when he
24wer a little 'un; and what wer gooid eneugh for him's gooid eneugh for ye, I's rayther think!" "I sha'n't eat it!"
25answered Linton, snappishly. "Take it away." Joseph snatched up the food indignantly, and brought it to us. "Is there
26aught ails th' victuals?" he asked, thrusting the tray under Heathcliff's nose. "What should ail them?" he said. "Wah!"
27answered Joseph, "yon dainty chap says he cannut ate 'em. But I guess it's raight! His mother wer just soa--we wer
28a'most too mucky to sow t' corn for makking her breead." "Don't mention his mother to me," said the master, angrily.
29"Get him something that he can eat, that's all. What is his usual food, Nelly?" I suggested boiled milk or tea; and the
30housekeeper received instructions to prepare some. Come, I reflected, his father's selfishness may contribute to his
31comfort. He perceives his delicate constitution, and the necessity of treating him tolerably. I'll console Mr. Edgar by
32acquainting him with the turn Heathcliff's humour has taken. Having no excuse for lingering longer, I slipped out, while
33Linton was engaged in timidly rebuffing the advances of a friendly sheep-dog. But he was too much on the alert to be
34cheated: as I closed the door, I heard a cry, and a frantic repetition of the words-- "Don't leave me! I'll not stay
35here! I'll not stay here!" Then the latch was raised and fell: they did not suffer him to come forth. I mounted Minny,
36and urged her to a trot; and so my brief guardianship ended.
