1"That is nothing to the purpose," said Heathcliff. (He it was.) "I don't hate my son, I suppose; and it is concerning
2him that I demand your attention. Yes; you have cause to blush. Two or three months since, were you not in the habit of
3writing to Linton? making love in play, eh? You deserved, both of you, flogging for that! You especially, the elder; and
4less sensitive, as it turns out. I've got your letters, and if you give me any pertness I'll send them to your father. I
5presume you grew weary of the amusement and dropped it, didn't you? Well, you dropped Linton with it into a Slough of
6Despond. He was in earnest: in love, really. As true as I live, he's dying for you; breaking his heart at your
7fickleness: not figuratively, but actually. Though Hareton has made him a standing jest for six weeks, and I have used
8more serious measures, and attempted to frighten him out of his idiocy, he gets worse daily; and he'll be under the sod
9before summer, unless you restore him!" "How can you lie so glaringly to the poor child?" I called from the inside.
10"Pray ride on! How can you deliberately get up such paltry falsehoods? Miss Cathy, I'll knock the lock off with a stone:
11you won't believe that vile nonsense. You can feel in yourself it is impossible that a person should die for love of a
12stranger." "I was not aware there were eavesdroppers," muttered the detected villain. "Worthy Mrs. Dean, I like you, but
13I don't like your double-dealing," he added aloud. "How could you lie so glaringly as to affirm I hated the 'poor
14child'? and invent bugbear stories to terrify her from my door-stones? Catherine Linton (the very name warms me), my
15bonny lass, I shall be from home all this week; go and see if I have not spoken truth: do, there's a darling! Just
16imagine your father in my place, and Linton in yours; then think how you would value your careless lover if he refused
17to stir a step to comfort you, when your father himself entreated him; and don't, from pure stupidity, fall into the
18same error. I swear, on my salvation, he's going to his grave, and none but you can save him!" The lock gave way and I
19issued out. "I swear Linton is dying," repeated Heathcliff, looking hard at me. "And grief and disappointment are
20hastening his death. Nelly, if you won't let her go, you can walk over yourself. But I shall not return till this time
21next week; and I think your master himself would scarcely object to her visiting her cousin." "Come in," said I, taking
22Cathy by the arm and half forcing her to re-enter; for she lingered, viewing with troubled eyes the features of the
23speaker, too stern to express his inward deceit. He pushed his horse close, and, bending down, observed-- "Miss
24Catherine, I'll own to you that I have little patience with Linton; and Hareton and Joseph have less. I'll own that he's
25with a harsh set. He pines for kindness, as well as love; and a kind word from you would be his best medicine. Don't
26mind Mrs. Dean's cruel cautions; but be generous, and contrive to see him. He dreams of you day and night, and cannot be
27persuaded that you don't hate him, since you neither write nor call." I closed the door, and rolled a stone to assist
28the loosened lock in holding it; and spreading my umbrella, I drew my charge underneath: for the rain began to drive
29through the moaning branches of the trees, and warned us to avoid delay. Our hurry prevented any comment on the
30encounter with Heathcliff, as we stretched towards home; but I divined instinctively that Catherine's heart was clouded
31now in double darkness. Her features were so sad, they did not seem hers: she evidently regarded what she had heard as
32every syllable true. The master had retired to rest before we came in. Cathy stole to his room to inquire how he was; he
33had fallen asleep. She returned, and asked me to sit with her in the library. We took our tea together; and afterwards
34she lay down on the rug, and told me not to talk, for she was weary. I got a book, and pretended to read. As soon as she
35supposed me absorbed in my occupation, she recommenced her silent weeping: it appeared, at present, her favourite
36diversion. I suffered her to enjoy it a while; then I expostulated: deriding and ridiculing all Mr. Heathcliff's
37assertions about his son, as if I were certain she would coincide. Alas! I hadn't skill to counteract the effect his
38account had produced: it was just what he intended. "You may be right, Ellen," she answered; "but I shall never feel at
39ease till I know. And I must tell Linton it is not my fault that I don't write, and convince him that I shall not
40change." What use were anger and protestations against her silly credulity? We parted that night--hostile; but next day
41beheld me on the road to Wuthering Heights, by the side of my wilful young mistress's pony. I couldn't bear to witness
42her sorrow: to see her pale, dejected countenance, and heavy eyes: and I yielded, in the faint hope that Linton himself
43might prove, by his reception of us, how little of the tale was founded on fact.
