"Good Lord, child, don't be foolish," exclaimed Cable. "That hurts me more than you think. Everything we have is yours." "I'm sorry I said it, daddy. I did not mean it in that way. It isn't the money, you know, and it isn't the home, either. No, you must let me choose my own way of living the rest of my life. I came from a foundling hospital.
Whether he was a foundling, and had been baptized B. Whether he was a lion-hearted boy, and B. was short for Briton, or for Bull. Whether he could possibly have been kith and kin to an illustrious lady who brightened my own childhood, and had come of the blood of the brilliant Mother Bunch? With these profitless meditations I tormented myself much.
"Then you are certain she is the babe you seek?" said the father, without looking up. "I reckon as near as you can be certain of anything. Her age tallies; she was the only foundling girl baby baptized by you, you know," he partly turned round appealingly to the Padre, "that year. Injin woman says she picked up a baby. Looks like a pretty clear case, don't it?"
When I have added that the United States have not a single foundling asylum, it seems to me that I have indicated what we are to think at once of their good morals and good sense. And let not the Americans he represented as a people at once honest and narrow-minded.
"Remove the prisoner," said the judge, peremptorily. The constables approached and led away Black Donald. Old Hurricane rushed upon Cap, seized her, and, shaking her fiercely, exclaimed, under his breath: "You you you you New York hurrah boy! You foundling! You vagabond! You vagrant! You brat! You beggar! Will you never be a lady? To go and shake hands with that ruffian!"
She had been no frequenter of "gambling joints" whatever her peccadilloes; Gabrielle, he happened to know, had died some eight or ten years ago, and Mademoiselle Pauline Marie, if she had had a child, which was extremely doubtful, was the sort that sends unwelcome offspring post haste to the foundling asylum. There remained only the spurious Mrs. Medford, and she was the probability on all counts.
"My answer would always be the same." "Rose!" miladi exclaimed. "Madame Destournier, I thank you also for your kindness to a foundling, and you, also," turning to M. Destournier, "for home and shelter, and many other things. I feel now that since I have disappointed you I cannot avail myself of your generosity any longer. I can find another home "
"I am going," he would say, "to cadge a meal of Bonamy." "Anyhow, I can drown myself in the Thames," Fanny cried, as she hurried past the Foundling Hospital. "But the Daily Mail isn't to be trusted," Jacob said to himself, looking about for something else to read.
I have also met persons who claim to have been cured of rachitic troubles in their youth by eating a puppy dog cooked in a saucepan. But only one kind of dog is good for this purpose, to be procured from those foundling hospitals whither hundreds of illegitimate infants are taken as soon as possible after birth.
Hindley Earnshaw is brutal to the foundling, Heathcliff, and degrades him. Heathcliff, when his hour comes, pays back his wrong with the interest due. He is brutal beyond brutality to Hindley Earnshaw, and he degrades Hareton, Hindley's son, as he himself was degraded; but he is not brutal to him.
