1"I shall have naught to do wi' you and your mucky pride, and your damned mocking tricks!" he answered. "I'll go to hell,
2body and soul, before I look sideways after you again. Side out o' t' gate, now, this minute!" Catherine frowned, and
3retreated to the window-seat chewing her lip, and endeavouring, by humming an eccentric tune, to conceal a growing
4tendency to sob. "You should be friends with your cousin, Mr. Hareton," I interrupted, "since she repents of her
5sauciness. It would do you a great deal of good: it would make you another man to have her for a companion." "A
6companion!" he cried; "when she hates me, and does not think me fit to wipe her shoon! Nay, if it made me a king, I'd
7not be scorned for seeking her good-will any more." "It is not I who hate you, it is you who hate me!" wept Cathy, no
8longer disguising her trouble. "You hate me as much as Mr. Heathcliff does, and more." "You're a damned liar," began
9Earnshaw: "why have I made him angry, by taking your part, then, a hundred times? and that when you sneered at and
10despised me, and--Go on plaguing me, and I'll step in yonder, and say you worried me out of the kitchen!" "I didn't know
11you took my part," she answered, drying her eyes; "and I was miserable and bitter at everybody; but now I thank you, and
12beg you to forgive me: what can I do besides?" She returned to the hearth, and frankly extended her hand. He blackened
13and scowled like a thunder-cloud, and kept his fists resolutely clenched, and his gaze fixed on the ground. Catherine,
14by instinct, must have divined it was obdurate perversity, and not dislike, that prompted this dogged conduct; for,
15after remaining an instant undecided, she stooped and impressed on his cheek a gentle kiss. The little rogue thought I
16had not seen her, and, drawing back, she took her former station by the window, quite demurely. I shook my head
17reprovingly, and then she blushed and whispered--"Well! what should I have done, Ellen? He wouldn't shake hands, and he
18wouldn't look: I must show him some way that I like him--that I want to be friends." Whether the kiss convinced Hareton,
19I cannot tell: he was very careful, for some minutes, that his face should not be seen, and when he did raise it, he was
20sadly puzzled where to turn his eyes. Catherine employed herself in wrapping a handsome book neatly in white paper, and
21having tied it with a bit of ribbon, and addressed it to "Mr. Hareton Earnshaw," she desired me to be her ambassadress,
22and convey the present to its destined recipient. "And tell him, if he'll take it, I'll come and teach him to read it
23right," she said; "and, if he refuse it, I'll go upstairs, and never tease him again." I carried it, and repeated the
24message; anxiously watched by my employer. Hareton would not open his fingers, so I laid it on his knee. He did not
25strike it off, either. I returned to my work. Catherine leaned her head and arms on the table, till she heard the slight
26rustle of the covering being removed; then she stole away, and quietly seated herself beside her cousin. He trembled,
27and his face glowed: all his rudeness and all his surly harshness had deserted him: he could not summon courage, at
28first, to utter a syllable in reply to her questioning look, and her murmured petition. "Say you forgive me, Hareton,
29do. You can make me so happy by speaking that little word." He muttered something inaudible. "And you'll be my friend?"
30added Catherine, interrogatively. "Nay, you'll be ashamed of me every day of your life," he answered; "and the more
31ashamed, the more you know me; and I cannot bide it." "So you won't be my friend?" she said, smiling as sweet as honey,
32and creeping close up. I overheard no further distinguishable talk, but, on looking round again, I perceived two such
33radiant countenances bent over the page of the accepted book, that I did not doubt the treaty had been ratified on both
34sides; and the enemies were, thenceforth, sworn allies. The work they studied was full of costly pictures; and those and
35their position had charm enough to keep them unmoved till Joseph came home. He, poor man, was perfectly aghast at the
36spectacle of Catherine seated on the same bench with Hareton Earnshaw, leaning her hand on his shoulder; and confounded
37at his favourite's endurance of her proximity: it affected him too deeply to allow an observation on the subject that
38night. His emotion was only revealed by the immense sighs he drew, as he solemnly spread his large Bible on the table,
39and overlaid it with dirty bank-notes from his pocket-book, the produce of the day's transactions. At length he summoned
40Hareton from his seat. "Tak' these in to t' maister, lad," he said, "and bide there. I's gang up to my own rahm. This
41hoile's neither mensful nor seemly for us: we mun side out and seearch another." "Come, Catherine," I said, "we must
42'side out' too: I've done my ironing. Are you ready to go?" "It is not eight o'clock!" she answered, rising unwillingly.
43"Hareton, I'll leave this book upon the chimney-piece, and I'll bring some more to-morrow." "Ony books that yah leave, I
44shall tak' into th' hahse," said Joseph, "and it'll be mitch if yah find 'em agean; soa, yah may plase yerseln!" Cathy
45threatened that his library should pay for hers; and, smiling as she passed Hareton, went singing upstairs: lighter of
46heart, I venture to say, than ever she had been under that roof before; except, perhaps, during her earliest visits to
47Linton. The intimacy thus commenced grew rapidly; though it encountered temporary interruptions. Earnshaw was not to be
48civilized with a wish, and my young lady was no philosopher, and no paragon of patience; but both their minds tending to
49the same point--one loving and desiring to esteem, and the other loving and desiring to be esteemed--they contrived in
50the end to reach it. You see, Mr. Lockwood, it was easy enough to win Mrs. Heathcliff's heart. But now, I'm glad you did
51not try. The crown of all my wishes will be the union of those two. I shall envy no one on their wedding day: there
52won't be a happier woman than myself in England!
