But she asked aloud, "What is that?" and chucked it off. "A letter from your old acquaintance, the housekeeper at the Grange," I answered. She would gladly have gathered it up at this information, but Hareton beat her. He seized and put it in his waistcoat, saying Mr. Heathcliff should look at it first; but later he pulled out the letter, and flung it on the floor as ungraciously as he could.
"In town one must have other things to think about, and then it isn't really proper work for a man!" "I'll do it myself all right," murmured Pelle ungraciously. Now he would show them that he could keep himself decent. It was partly in order to revenge himself for his own neglect that he refused the offer. "Yes, yes," said Lasse meekly; "I just asked you.
