1"No, she's not going to any such place," I cried, struggling to release my arm, which he had seized: but she was almost
2at the door-stones already, scampering round the brow at full speed. Her appointed companion did not pretend to escort
3her: he shied off by the road-side, and vanished. "Mr. Heathcliff, it's very wrong," I continued: "you know you mean no
4good. And there she'll see Linton, and all will be told as soon as ever we return; and I shall have the blame." "I want
5her to see Linton," he answered; "he's looking better these few days; it's not often he's fit to be seen. And we'll soon
6persuade her to keep the visit secret: where is the harm of it?" "The harm of it is, that her father would hate me if he
7found I suffered her to enter your house; and I am convinced you have a bad design in encouraging her to do so," I
8replied. "My design is as honest as possible. I'll inform you of its whole scope," he said. "That the two cousins may
9fall in love, and get married. I'm acting generously to your master: his young chit has no expectations, and should she
10second my wishes she'll be provided for at once as joint successor with Linton." "If Linton died," I answered, "and his
11life is quite uncertain, Catherine would be the heir." "No, she would not," he said. "There is no clause in the will to
12secure it so: his property would go to me; but, to prevent disputes, I desire their union, and am resolved to bring it
13about." "And I'm resolved she shall never approach your house with me again," I returned, as we reached the gate, where
14Miss Cathy waited our coming. Heathcliff bade me be quiet; and, preceding us up the path, hastened to open the door. My
15young lady gave him several looks, as if she could not exactly make up her mind what to think of him; but now he smiled
16when he met her eye, and softened his voice in addressing her; and I was foolish enough to imagine the memory of her
17mother might disarm him from desiring her injury. Linton stood on the hearth. He had been out walking in the fields, for
18his cap was on, and he was calling to Joseph to bring him dry shoes. He had grown tall of his age, still wanting some
19months of sixteen. His features were pretty yet, and his eye and complexion brighter than I remembered them, though with
20merely temporary lustre borrowed from the salubrious air and genial sun. "Now, who is that?" asked Mr. Heathcliff,
21turning to Cathy. "Can you tell?" "Your son?" she said, having doubtfully surveyed, first one and then the other. "Yes,
22yes," answered he: "but is this the only time you have beheld him? Think! Ah! you have a short memory. Linton, don't you
23recall your cousin, that you used to tease us so with wishing to see?" "What, Linton!" cried Cathy, kindling into joyful
24surprise at the name. "Is that little Linton? He's taller than I am! Are you Linton?" The youth stepped forward, and
25acknowledged himself: she kissed him fervently, and they gazed with wonder at the change time had wrought in the
26appearance of each. Catherine had reached her full height; her figure was both plump and slender, elastic as steel, and
27her whole aspect sparkling with health and spirits. Linton's looks and movements were very languid, and his form
28extremely slight; but there was a grace in his manner that mitigated these defects, and rendered him not unpleasing.
29After exchanging numerous marks of fondness with him, his cousin went to Mr. Heathcliff, who lingered by the door,
30dividing his attention between the objects inside and those that lay without: pretending, that is, to observe the
31latter, and really noting the former alone. "And you are my uncle, then!" she cried, reaching up to salute him. "I
32thought I liked you, though you were cross at first. Why don't you visit at the Grange with Linton? To live all these
33years such close neighbours, and never see us, is odd: what have you done so for?" "I visited it once or twice too often
34before you were born," he answered. "There--damn it! If you have any kisses to spare, give them to Linton: they are
35thrown away on me." "Naughty Ellen!" exclaimed Catherine, flying to attack me next with her lavish caresses. "Wicked
36Ellen! to try to hinder me from entering. But I'll take this walk every morning in future: may I, uncle? and sometimes
37bring papa. Won't you be glad to see us?" "Of course," replied the uncle, with a hardly suppressed grimace, resulting
38from his deep aversion to both the proposed visitors. "But stay," he continued, turning towards the young lady. "Now I
39think of it, I'd better tell you. Mr. Linton has a prejudice against me: we quarrelled at one time of our lives, with
40unchristian ferocity; and, if you mention coming here to him, he'll put a veto on your visits altogether. Therefore, you
41must not mention it, unless you be careless of seeing your cousin hereafter: you may come, if you will, but you must not
42mention it." "Why did you quarrel?" asked Catherine, considerably crestfallen. "He thought me too poor to wed his
43sister," answered Heathcliff, "and was grieved that I got her: his pride was hurt, and he'll never forgive it." "That's
44wrong!" said the young lady: "some time I'll tell him so. But Linton and I have no share in your quarrel. I'll not come
45here, then; he shall come to the Grange." "It will be too far for me," murmured her cousin: "to walk four miles would
46kill me. No, come here, Miss Catherine, now and then: not every morning, but once or twice a week." The father launched
47towards his son a glance of bitter contempt. "I am afraid, Nelly, I shall lose my labour," he muttered to me. "Miss
48Catherine, as the ninny calls her, will discover his value, and send him to the devil. Now, if it had been Hareton!--Do
49you know that, twenty times a day, I covet Hareton, with all his degradation? I'd have loved the lad had he been some
50one else. But I think he's safe from her love. I'll pit him against that paltry creature, unless it bestir itself
51briskly. We calculate it will scarcely last till it is eighteen. Oh, confound the vapid thing! He's absorbed in drying
52his feet, and never looks at her.--Linton!" "Yes, father," answered the boy. "Have you nothing to show your cousin
53anywhere about, not even a rabbit or a weasel's nest? Take her into the garden, before you change your shoes; and into
54the stable to see your horse." "Wouldn't you rather sit here?" asked Linton, addressing Cathy in a tone which expressed
55reluctance to move again. "I don't know," she replied, casting a longing look to the door, and evidently eager to be
56active. He kept his seat, and shrank closer to the fire. Heathcliff rose, and went into the kitchen, and from thence to
57the yard, calling out for Hareton. Hareton responded, and presently the two re-entered. The young man had been washing
58himself, as was visible by the glow on his cheeks and his wetted hair. "Oh, I'll ask you, uncle," cried Miss Cathy,
59recollecting the housekeeper's assertion. "That is not my cousin, is he?" "Yes," he replied, "your mother's nephew.
60Don't you like him?" Catherine looked queer. "Is he not a handsome lad?" he continued. The uncivil little thing stood on
61tiptoe, and whispered a sentence in Heathcliff's ear. He laughed; Hareton darkened: I perceived he was very sensitive to
62suspected slights, and had obviously a dim notion of his inferiority. But his master or guardian chased the frown by
63exclaiming-- "You'll be the favourite among us, Hareton! She says you are a--What was it? Well, something very
64flattering. Here! you go with her round the farm. And behave like a gentleman, mind! Don't use any bad words; and don't
65stare when the young lady is not looking at you, and be ready to hide your face when she is; and, when you speak, say
66your words slowly, and keep your hands out of your pockets. Be off, and entertain her as nicely as you can." He watched
67the couple walking past the window. Earnshaw had his countenance completely averted from his companion. He seemed
68studying the familiar landscape with a stranger's and an artist's interest. Catherine took a sly look at him, expressing
69small admiration. She then turned her attention to seeking out objects of amusement for herself, and tripped merrily on,
70lilting a tune to supply the lack of conversation.
