`Well,

so fast, miss!' I interrupted; `you'll disorder the handkerchief I have tied
round your face, and make the cut bleed again. Drink your tea, and take breath,
and give over laughing: laughter is sadly out of place under this roof, and in
your condition!'
`An undeniable truth,' she replied. `Listen to that
child! It maintains a constant wail--send it out of my hearing for an hour; I
shan't stay any longer.'
I rang the bell, and committed it to a
servant's care; and then I inquired what had urged her to escape from Wuthering
Heights in such an unlikely

women plight, and where she meant to go, as she refused remaining
with us.
`I ought, and I wish to remain,' answered she, `to cheer Edgar
and take care of the baby, for two things, and because the Grange is my right
home. But I Bell you he wouldn't let me! Do you think he could bear to see me
grow fat and merry; and could bear to think that we were tranquil, and not
resolve on poisoning our comfort? Now, I have the satisfaction of being sure
that he detests me, to the point of its annoying him seriously

women to have me within earshot or eyesight: I notice, when I enter
his presence, the muscles of his countenance are involuntarily distorted into an
expression of hatred; partly arising from his knowledge of the good causes I
have to feel that sentiment for him, and partly from original aversion. It is
strong enough to make me feel pretty certain that he would not chase me over
England, supposing I contrived a clear escape; and therefore I must get quite
away. I've recovered from my first desire to be killed by him: I'd rather he'd
kill himself! He has extinguished my love effectually,

loved him; and can dimly imagine that I could still be loving him, if--no, no!
Even if he had doted on me, the devilish nature would have revealed its
existence somehow. Catherine had an awfully perverted taste to esteem him so
dearly, knowing him so well. Monster! would that he could be blotted out of
creation, and out of my memory!'
`Hush, hush! He's a human being,' I
said. `Be more charitable: there are worse men than he is yet!'

gave him my heart, and he took and pinched it to death, and flung it back to me.
People feel with their hearts, Ellen: and since he has destroyed mine, I have
not power to feel for him: and I would not, though he groaned from this to his
dying day, and wept tears of blood for Catherine! No, indeed, indeed, I
wouldn't!' And here Isabella began to cry; but, immediately dashing the water

store was compelled to attempt it, because I had succeeded in
rousing his rage a pitch above his malignity. Pulling out the nerves with
red-hot pincers requires more coolness than knocking on the head. He was worked
up to forget the fiendish prudence he boasted of, and proceeded to murderous
violence. I experienced pleasure in being able to exasperate him; the sense of
pleasure woke my instinct of self-preservation, so I fairly broke free; and if
ever I come into his hands again he is welcome to a signal revenge.
