That's enough; let me alone. What are you on the point of complaining about, Heathcliff? 'Nothing only look at the almanack on that wall; he pointed to a framed sheet hanging near the window, and continued, 'The crosses are for the evenings you have spent with the Lintons, the dots for those spent with me. Do you see? I've marked every day.
I suppose we shall have plenty of lamentations now I see we shall but they can't keep me from my narrow home out yonder: my resting-place, where I'm bound before spring is over! There it is: not among the Lintons, mind, under the chapel-roof, but in the open air, with a head-stone; and you may please yourself whether you go to them or come to me!
The Lintons and Greggs are people of the world, who would hardly have cared to wait for a blessing on such lovely heaps of strawberries and mugs of cream as they saw before them; but, there being two clergymen at the table, the ceremony was evidently expected.
Afterwards, they dried and combed her beautiful hair, and gave her a pair of enormous slippers, and wheeled her to the fire; and I left her, as merry as she could be, dividing her food between the little dog and Skulker, whose nose she pinched as he ate; and kindling a spark of spirit in the vacant blue eyes of the Lintons a dim reflection from her own enchanting face.
It was difficult to see why both these preliminaries could not have been managed before, instead of being left until the moment of boarding; the final block strained every one's patience to breaking-point. The Lintons and the Rainhams were almost the last to board the ship, having, not without thankfulness, relinquished their adopted babies.
Bob regarded her with solemn amazement. "So this is what happens when I let you go about alone!" he ejaculated. "Why, you might have got yourself into an awful mess it might have been anybody's car " "Yes, but it wasn't," said his sister serenely. "You see, I looked at Miss Linton first, and I knew it would be all right." The Lintons laughed unrestrainedly.
"You Lintons generally appear bearing your sheaves with you," he said. "Well, you're very welcome. How many of you do I keep?" "Tommy and Norah, for certain," said Mr. Linton. "And as many more of us as you please. Want us all, doctor?" "Well, I really don't; there are a good many men volunteers. But if I might commandeer the car and a driver for a few hours, I should be glad," the doctor went on.
He had retired to private prayer in his chamber, and Mr. and Mrs. Earnshaw were engaging Missy's attention by sundry gay trifles bought for her to present to the little Lintons, as an acknowledgment of their kindness. They had invited them to spend the morrow at Wuthering Heights, and the invitation had been accepted, on one condition: Mrs.
"Only I'll be glad when it's done; debt, even such an easy debt as this, gives me the creeps. And I want to feel we stand on our own feet." "And not on the Lintons'!" said Tommy, laughing. "I quite agree though it's amazing to see how little they seem to mind our weight. Was there ever such luck as meeting them, Bob?" "Never," he agreed.
It was a matter of some amazement to the Lintons that Brownie did not volunteer for the hospital, and indeed, it had been the first thought of Brownie herself. But she repressed it firmly, though by no means feeling comfortable. To Murty she confided her views, and was relieved by his approval. "I know I did ought to go," she said, almost tearfully.
