Don't miners sometimes take parrots into mines with them to warn them against poisonous fumes?" "A canary I've heard of not a parrot," said Mr. Martin. "And we're really in very little danger from poisonous fumes. But I guess we can't risk offending a neighbor by refusing a gift." "Taking care of a parrot can be a lot of work," said Mrs. Martin. "I'll help," offered Cathy.
Judith wouldn't hear of it, and when a little later Eleanor told her that she was the choice of the Committee she begged to be let off. "It really wasn't fair," she protested. "Cathy was awfully tired and not in good form, and I was feeling tip-top. I'd hate to take her place." But Eleanor was firm.
They all addressed the parrot by name but he only glared at them with his beady eyes and kept silent. "Maybe he's dumb," said Andy. "Maybe he's too young to know how to talk," said Cathy. "He's not that young," said Jerry. They were eating dessert pineapple upside-down cake when the parrot beat his wings and said in a strong, hoarse voice, "Caramba!" "What does that mean?" Jerry asked his father.
But my mother will get the next piece." Jerry thought of his mother reaching in the box for a pink mint and smiled. "You're up to something. I can tell it by the way you look," remarked Cathy. He would have to be on his guard against Cathy, Jerry realized. Up till now he had found it almost impossible to keep a secret from his twin sister. "Want me to wipe away your tears?" he jibed.
I bid him beware of rousing the master, and while he undressed and I waited to put out the candle, he continued 'Cathy and I escaped from the wash- house to have a ramble at liberty, and getting a glimpse of the Grange lights, we thought we would just go and see whether the Lintons passed their Sunday evenings standing shivering in corners, while their father and mother sat eating and drinking, and singing and laughing, and burning their eyes out before the fire.
"DEAREST AUNT MARY: As I wrote you, I continue to miss you and Uncle Tom dreadfully, and dear old Peter, too; and Cathy and Bridget and Mary Ann. And I hate to get up at seven o'clock. And Miss Hood, who takes us out walking and teaches us composition, is such a ridiculously strict old maid you would laugh at her. And the Sundays are terrible.
But they were playmates, at any rate; as regards that, there is no room for dispute. Cathy thinks Dorcas is the best Catholic in America except herself. She could not pay any one a higher compliment than that, and Dorcas could not receive one that would please her better. Dorcas is satisfied that there has never been a more wonderful child than Cathy.
When we rode away, our main body had already been on the road an hour or two I speak of our camp equipage; but we didn't move off alone: when Cathy blew the "advance" the Rangers cantered out in column of fours, and gave us escort, and were joined by White Cloud and Thunder-Bird in all their gaudy bravery, and by Buffalo Bill and four subordinate scouts.
Earnshaw told her to wash it, give it clean things, and let it sleep with the children. The children's presents were forgotten. This was how Heathcliff, as they called him, came to Wuthering Heights. Miss Cathy and he soon became very thick; but Hindley hated him. He was a patient, sullen child, who would stand blows without winking or shedding a tear.
Jerry gathered his books and papers together. If Cathy began being nice to him for a change he might find himself confiding to her. It had made him uneasy to be alone with her ever since he had started that charge account business. He would be safer now up in his own room. "I can't study here where you keep jawing at me," he complained. "Well, I like that. I hardly opened my mouth and now you "
