MrHeathcliff，whogrewmoreandmoredisinclinedtosociety，hadalmostbanishedEarnshawoutofhisapartment。OwingtoanaccidentatthecommencementofMarch，hebecameforsomedaysafixtureinthekitchen。Hisgunburstwhileoutonthehillsbyhimself；asplintercuthisarm，andhelostagooddealofbloodbeforehecouldreachhome。Theconsequencewasthat，perforce，hewascondemnedtothefiresideandtranquillity，tillhemadeitupagain。ItsuitedCatherinetohavehimthere:atanyrate，itmadeherhateherroomupstairsmorethanever:andshewouldcompelmetofindoutbusinessbelow，thatshemightaccompanyme。

OnEasterMonday，JosephwenttoGimmertonfairwithsomecattle；

and，intheafternoon，Iwasbusygettinguplineninthekitchen。Earnshawsat，moroseasusual，atthechimney-corner，andmylittlemistresswasbeguilinganidlehourwithdrawingpicturesonthewindowpanes；varyingheramusementbysmotheredburstsofsongs，andwhisperedejaculations，andquickglancesofannoyanceandimpatienceinthedirectionofhercousin，whosteadfastlysmoked，andlookedintothegrate。AtanoticethatIcoulddowithhernolongerinterceptingmylight，sheremovedtothehearthstone。

Catherinefrowned，andretreatedtothewindow-seatchewingherlip，andendeavouring，byhumminganeccentrictune，toconcealagrowingtendencytosob。

`Youshouldbefriendswithyourcousin，MrHareton，"Iinterrupted，`sincesherepentsofhersauciness。Itwoulddoyouagreatdealofgood:

Shereturnedtothehearth，andfranklyextendedherhand。Heblackenedandscowledlikeathundercloud，andkepthisfistsresolutelyclenched，andhisgazefixedontheground。Catherine，byinstinct，musthavedivineditwasobdurateperversity，andnotdislike，thatpromptedthisdoggedconduct；for，afterremaininganinstantundecided，shestoopedandimpressedonhischeekagentlekiss。ThelittleroguethoughtIhadnotseenher，and，drawingback，shetookherformerstationbythewindow，quitedemurely。Ishookmyheadreprovingly，andthensheblushedandwhispered:

`Well!whatshouldIhavedone，Ellen？Hewouldn"tshakehands，andhewouldn"tlook:ImustshowhimsomewaythatIlikehim——thatI

Catherineemployedherselfinwrappingahandsomebookneatlyinwhitepaper，andhavingtieditwithabitofribband，andaddresseditto`MrHaretonEarnshaw"，shedesiredmetobeherambassadress，andconveythepresenttoitsdestinedrecipient。

`Andtellhim，ifhe"lltakeitI"llcomeandteachhimtoreaditright，"shesaid；`and，ifherefuseit，I"llgoupstairs，andneverteasehimagain。"

Icarriedit，andrepeatedthemessage；anxiouslywatchedbymyemployer。Haretonwouldnotopenhisfingers，soIlaiditonhisknee。

Hedidnotstrikeoff，either。Ireturnedtomywork。Catherineleanedherheadandarmsonthetable，tillsheheardtheslightestrustleofthecoveringbeingremoved；thenshestoleaway，andquietlyseatedherselfbesidehercousin。Hetrembled，andhisfaceglowed:allhisrudenessandallhissurlyharshnesshaddesertedhim:hecouldnotsummoncourage，atfirst，toutterasyllableinreplytoherquestioninglook，andhermurmuredpetition。

`Sayyouforgiveme，Hareton，do？Youcanmakemesohappybyspeakingthatlittleword。"

Hemutteredsomethinginaudible。

`Andyou"llbemyfriend？"addedCatherineinterrogatively。

`Nay，you"llbeashamedofmeeverydayofyourlife，"heanswered；
