1"Missis walked in," she said, "as chill as an icicle, and as high as a princess. I got up and offered her my seat in the
2arm-chair. No, she turned up her nose at my civility. Earnshaw rose, too, and bid her come to the settle, and sit close
3by the fire: he was sure she was starved. "'I've been starved a month and more,' she answered, resting on the word as
4scornful as she could. "And she got a chair for herself, and placed it at a distance from both of us. Having sat till
5she was warm, she began to look round, and discovered a number of books on the dresser; she was instantly upon her feet
6again, stretching to reach them: but they were too high up. Her cousin, after watching her endeavours a while, at last
7summoned courage to help her; she held her frock, and he filled it with the first that came to hand. "That was a great
8advance for the lad. She didn't thank him; still, he felt gratified that she had accepted his assistance, and ventured
9to stand behind as she examined them, and even to stoop and point out what struck his fancy in certain old pictures
10which they contained; nor was he daunted by the saucy style in which she jerked the page from his finger: he contented
11himself with going a bit farther back and looking at her instead of the book. She continued reading, or seeking for
12something to read. His attention became, by degrees, quite centred in the study of her thick silky curls: her face he
13couldn't see, and she couldn't see him. And, perhaps, not quite awake to what he did, but attracted like a child to a
14candle, at last he proceeded from staring to touching; he put out his hand and stroked one curl, as gently as if it were
15a bird. He might have stuck a knife into her neck, she started round in such a taking. "'Get away this moment! How dare
16you touch me? Why are you stopping there?' she cried, in a tone of disgust. 'I can't endure you! I'll go upstairs again,
17if you come near me.' "Mr. Hareton recoiled, looking as foolish as he could do: he sat down in the settle very quiet,
18and she continued turning over her volumes another half hour; finally, Earnshaw crossed over, and whispered to me.
19"'Will you ask her to read to us, Zillah? I'm stalled of doing naught; and I do like--I could like to hear her! Dunnot
20say I wanted it, but ask of yourseln.' "'Mr. Hareton wishes you would read to us, ma'am,' I said, immediately. 'He'd
21take it very kind--he'd be much obliged.' "She frowned; and looking up, answered-- "'Mr. Hareton, and the whole set of
22you, will be good enough to understand that I reject any pretence at kindness you have the hypocrisy to offer! I despise
23you, and will have nothing to say to any of you! When I would have given my life for one kind word, even to see one of
24your faces, you all kept off. But I won't complain to you! I'm driven down here by the cold; not either to amuse you or
25enjoy your society.' "'What could I ha' done?' began Earnshaw. 'How was I to blame?' "'Oh! you are an exception,'
26answered Mrs. Heathcliff. 'I never missed such a concern as you.' "'But I offered more than once, and asked,' he said,
27kindling up at her pertness, 'I asked Mr. Heathcliff to let me wake for you--' "'Be silent! I'll go out of doors, or
28anywhere, rather than have your disagreeable voice in my ear!' said my lady. "Hareton muttered she might go to hell, for
29him! and unslinging his gun, restrained himself from his Sunday occupations no longer. He talked now, freely enough; and
30she presently saw fit to retreat to her solitude: but the frost had set in, and, in spite of her pride, she was forced
31to condescend to our company, more and more. However, I took care there should be no further scorning at my good nature:
32ever since, I've been as stiff as herself; and she has no lover or liker among us: and she does not deserve one; for,
33let them say the least word to her, and she'll curl back without respect of any one. She'll snap at the master himself,
34and as good as dares him to thrash her; and the more hurt she gets, the more venomous she grows." At first, on hearing
35this account from Zillah, I determined to leave my situation, take a cottage, and get Catherine to come and live with
36me: but Mr. Heathcliff would as soon permit that as he would set up Hareton in an independent house; and I can see no
37remedy, at present, unless she could marry again; and that scheme it does not come within my province to arrange. Thus
38ended Mrs. Dean's story. Notwithstanding the doctor's prophecy, I am rapidly recovering strength; and though it be only
39the second week in January, I propose getting out on horseback in a day or two, and riding over to Wuthering Heights, to
40inform my landlord that I shall spend the next six months in London; and, if he likes, he may look out for another
41tenant to take the place after October. I would not pass another winter here for much.
