BOOK THREE: THE SECOND CATHERINE

 
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

The Master of the House

Cathy was in her father's room for many hours, but finally Ellen made her go to her room and sleep.

That same evening, Mr. Green, the lawyer, visited the Grange. He had a letter from Heathcliff, who was taking Thrushcross Grange for his son, Linton. Heathcliff told all the servants that they could go, except for Ellen Dean. He said that he would come to Thrushcross Grange very soon.

Catherine was allowed to stay in her home until her father's funeral was over.

On the evening after the funeral, Cathy and Ellen were sitting in the library when they heard someone coming. Then, Heathcliff walked into the room and shut the door behind him.

Cathy stood up when she saw him and was going to leave the room, but Heathcliff grabbed her arm.

"Stop!" he said harshly. "Don't go away. I've come to take you back to your husband, I hope you'll be a good daughter, and not tell my son to disobey me. I don't care if you like your husband or not -- you will come! He's your problem now."

"Why can't she stay here?" asked Ellen. "Your son could live here too."

Heathcliff stared at her as if she was stupid. “I’m going to find someone to come and live at the Grange," he said, "and I want my happy children around me! Now get ready to go!"

"I will." Cathy replied. "I know Linton loves me, and he is all I have to love in the world. But nobody loves you -- nobody will cry when you die!  I'm happy I'm not you!"
