1The two new friends established themselves in the house during his absence; where I heard Hareton sternly check his
2cousin, on her offering a revelation of her father-in-law's conduct to his father. He said he wouldn't suffer a word to
3be uttered in his disparagement: if he were the devil, it didn't signify; he would stand by him; and he'd rather she
4would abuse himself, as she used to, than begin on Mr. Heathcliff. Catherine was waxing cross at this; but he found
5means to make her hold her tongue, by asking how she would like him to speak ill of her father? Then she comprehended
6that Earnshaw took the master's reputation home to himself; and was attached by ties stronger than reason could
7break--chains, forged by habit, which it would be cruel to attempt to loosen. She showed a good heart, thenceforth, in
8avoiding both complaints and expressions of antipathy concerning Heathcliff; and confessed to me her sorrow that she had
9endeavoured to raise a bad spirit between him and Hareton: indeed, I don't believe she has ever breathed a syllable, in
10the latter's hearing, against her oppressor since. When this slight disagreement was over, they were friends again, and
11as busy as possible in their several occupations of pupil and teacher. I came in to sit with them, after I had done my
12work; and I felt so soothed and comforted to watch them, that I did not notice how time got on. You know, they both
13appeared in a measure my children: I had long been proud of one; and now, I was sure, the other would be a source of
14equal satisfaction. His honest, warm, and intelligent nature shook off rapidly the clouds of ignorance and degradation
15in which it had been bred; and Catherine's sincere commendations acted as a spur to his industry. His brightening mind
16brightened his features, and added spirit and nobility to their aspect: I could hardly fancy it the same individual I
17had beheld on the day I discovered my little lady at Wuthering Heights, after her expedition to the Crags. While I
18admired and they laboured, dusk drew on, and with it returned the master. He came upon us quite unexpectedly, entering
19by the front way, and had a full view of the whole three, ere we could raise our heads to glance at him. Well, I
20reflected, there was never a pleasanter, or more harmless sight; and it will be a burning shame to scold them. The red
21fire-light glowed on their two bonny heads, and revealed their faces animated with the eager interest of children; for,
22though he was twenty-three and she eighteen, each had so much of novelty to feel and learn, that neither experienced nor
23evinced the sentiments of sober disenchanted maturity. They lifted their eyes together, to encounter Mr. Heathcliff:
24perhaps you have never remarked that their eyes are precisely similar, and they are those of Catherine Earnshaw. The
25present Catherine has no other likeness to her, except a breadth of forehead, and a certain arch of the nostril that
26makes her appear rather haughty, whether she will or not. With Hareton the resemblance is carried farther: it is
27singular at all times, then it was particularly striking; because his senses were alert, and his mental faculties
28wakened to unwonted activity. I suppose this resemblance disarmed Mr. Heathcliff: he walked to the hearth in evident
29agitation; but it quickly subsided as he looked at the young man: or, I should say, altered its character; for it was
30there yet. He took the book from his hand, and glanced at the open page, then returned it without any observation;
31merely signing Catherine away: her companion lingered very little behind her, and I was about to depart also, but he bid
32me sit still. "It is a poor conclusion, is it not?" he observed, having brooded a while on the scene he had just
33witnessed: "an absurd termination to my violent exertions? I get levers and mattocks to demolish the two houses, and
34train myself to be capable of working like Hercules, and when everything is ready and in my power, I find the will to
35lift a slate off either roof has vanished! My old enemies have not beaten me; now would be the precise time to revenge
36myself on their representatives: I could do it; and none could hinder me. But where is the use? I don't care for
37striking: I can't take the trouble to raise my hand! That sounds as if I had been labouring the whole time only to
38exhibit a fine trait of magnanimity. It is far from being the case: I have lost the faculty of enjoying their
39destruction, and I am too idle to destroy for nothing. "Nelly, there is a strange change approaching; I'm in its shadow
40at present. I take so little interest in my daily life that I hardly remember to eat and drink. Those two who have left
41the room are the only objects which retain a distinct material appearance to me; and that appearance causes me pain,
42amounting to agony. About her I won't speak; and I don't desire to think; but I earnestly wish she were invisible: her
43presence invokes only maddening sensations. He moves me differently: and yet if I could do it without seeming insane,
44I'd never see him again! You'll perhaps think me rather inclined to become so," he added, making an effort to smile, "if
45I try to describe the thousand forms of past associations and ideas he awakens or embodies. But you'll not talk of what
46I tell you; and my mind is so eternally secluded in itself, it is tempting at last to turn it out to another. "Five
47minutes ago Hareton seemed a personification of my youth, not a human being; I felt to him in such a variety of ways,
48that it would have been impossible to have accosted him rationally. In the first place, his startling likeness to
49Catherine connected him fearfully with her. That, however, which you may suppose the most potent to arrest my
50imagination, is actually the least: for what is not connected with her to me? and what does not recall her? I cannot
51look down to this floor, but her features are shaped in the flags! In every cloud, in every tree--filling the air at
52night, and caught by glimpses in every object by day--I am surrounded with her image! The most ordinary faces of men and
53women--my own features--mock me with a resemblance. The entire world is a dreadful collection of memoranda that she did
54exist, and that I have lost her! Well, Hareton's aspect was the ghost of my immortal love; of my wild endeavours to hold
55my right; my degradation, my pride, my happiness, and my anguish-- "But it is frenzy to repeat these thoughts to you:
56only it will let you know why, with a reluctance to be always alone, his society is no benefit; rather an aggravation of
57the constant torment I suffer: and it partly contributes to render me regardless how he and his cousin go on together. I
58can give them no attention any more." "But what do you mean by a change, Mr. Heathcliff?" I said, alarmed at his manner:
59though he was neither in danger of losing his senses, nor dying, according to my judgment: he was quite strong and
60healthy; and, as to his reason, from childhood he had a delight in dwelling on dark things, and entertaining odd
61fancies. He might have had a monomania on the subject of his departed idol; but on every other point his wits were as
62sound as mine. "I shall not know that till it comes," he said; "I'm only half conscious of it now." "You have no feeling
63of illness, have you?" I asked. "No, Nelly, I have not," he answered. "Then you are not afraid of death?" I pursued.
