  • He ventured this remark without any intention to insult; but Heathcliff’s violentnature was not prepared to endure the appearance of impertinence from one whomhe seemed to hate, even then, as a rival. He seized a tureen of hot apple sauce (thefirst thing that came under his gripe) and dashed it full against the speaker’s faceand neck; who instantly commenced a lament that brought Isabella and Catherinehurrying to the place. Mr. Earnshaw snatched up the culprit directly and conveyedhim to his chamber; where, doubtless, he administered a rough remedy to cool thefit of passion, for he appeared red and breathless. I got the dishcloth, and ratherspitefully scrubbed Edgar’s nose and mouth, affirming it served him right formeddling. His sister began weeping to go home, and Cathy stood by confounded,blushing for all.‘You should not have spoken to him!’ she expostulated with Master Linton. ‘Hewas in a bad temper, and now you’ve spoilt your visit; and he’ll be flogged: I hatehim to be flogged! I can’t eat my dinner. Why did you speak to him, Edgar?’‘I didn’t,’ sobbed the youth, escaping from my hands, and finishing theremainder of the purification with his cambric pocket-handkerchief. ‘I promisedmamma that I wouldn’t say one word to him, and I didn’t.’‘Well, don’t cry,’ replied Catherine, contemptuously; ‘you’re not killed. Don’tmake more mischief; my brother is coming: be quiet! Hush, Isabella! Has anybodyhurt you?’‘There, there, children—to your seats!’ cried Hindley, bustling in. ‘That brute ofa lad has warmed me nicely. Next time, Master Edgar, take the law into your ownfists—it will give you an appetite!’The little party recovered its equanimity at sight of the fragrant feast. They werehungry after their ride, and easily consoled, since no real harm had befallen them.Mr. Earnshaw carved bountiful platefuls, and the mistress made them merry withlively talk. I waited behind her chair, and was pained to behold Catherine, with dryeyes and an indifferent air, commence cutting up the wing of a goose before her.‘An unfeeling child,’ I thought to myself; ‘how lightly she dismisses her oldplaymate’s troubles. I could not have imagined her to be so selfish.’ She lifted amouthful to her lips: then she set it down again: her cheeks flushed, and the tearsgushed over them. She slipped her fork to the floor, and hastily dived under thecloth to conceal her emotion. I did not call her unfeeling long; for I perceived shewas in purgatory throughout the day, and wearying to find an opportunity of gettingby herself, or paying a visit to Heathcliff, who had been locked up by the master: asI discovered, on endeavouring to introduce to him a private mess of victuals.In the evening we had a dance. Cathy begged that he might be liberated then, as Isabella Linton had no partner: her entreaties were vain, and I was appointed tosupply the deficiency. We got rid of all gloom in the excitement of the exercise,and our pleasure was increased by the arrival of the Gimmerton band, musteringfifteen strong: a trumpet, a trombone, clarionets, bassoons, French horns, and abass viol, besides singers. They go the rounds of all the respectable houses, andreceive contributions every Christmas, and we esteemed it a first-rate treat to hearthem. After the usual carols had been sung, we set them to songs and glees. Mrs.Earnshaw loved the music, and so they gave us plenty.Catherine loved it too: but she said it sounded sweetest at the top of the steps,and she went up in the dark: I followed. They shut the house door below, nevernoting our absence, it was so full of people. She made no stay at the stairs’-head,but mounted farther, to the garret where Heathcliff was confined, and called him.He stubbornly declined answering for a while: she persevered, and finallypersuaded him to hold communion with her through the boards.
