[00:02.24] Chapter 13. [00:04.23] Heathcliff's revenge. [00:08.73] On the sixth morning, after my breakfast had been brought, the door to the room was left unlocked. [00:15.89] I waited, as I had waited every morning for the sound of the key turning in the lock. [00:22.79] It didn't come, and hurrying down the stairs, I found the front door also open, and the living room filled with sunlight. [00:32.02] Linton lay on the settle. [00:35.92] Where's Miss Catherine? [00:37.90] I demanded. [00:39.46] Has she gone? [00:42.85] Oh, no, he answered. [00:45.56] She can't go. [00:47.57] We won't let her. [00:50.75] She's my wife now, and must do everything I say. [00:57.57] Where is she? [00:59.67] I repeated. [01:02.34] Locked in her room, said Linton. [01:07.14] But you shan't have the key. [01:09.73] No one knows where it is but father and me. [01:15.49] And where is your father? [01:18.78] In the courtyard talking to Dr. Kenneth. [01:23.78] He says that Catherine's father is dying. [01:28.29] When he does, Thrushcross Grange will be mine, won't it? [01:36.61] I could bear neither the sight nor the sound of the spoiled selfish thing for a moment longer. [01:42.94] I ran from the room and made my way over the moors as quickly as I could. [01:50.89] The servants at the Grange, who had thought both Miss Catherine and I dead in some bog, greeted me with astonishment and joy. [02:01.40] I assured them that she was well, and would follow shortly. [02:07.80] Then I hurried up the stairs to tell the news to my master. [02:13.90] What a change I found in him. [02:18.52] I feared that what Dr. Kenneth had said was right. [02:25.93] She'll soon be here, sir, I murmured, bending over him, and I saw him stir a little. [02:34.25] Catherine is safe and well and will come home soon. [02:43.35] Then I sent a man servant to hire a lawyer, and to find and bring my little mistress home. [02:51.69] He returned to say that Heathcliff had told the lawyer that Catherine was ill, but that she would return to us as soon as she was well. [03:05.05] Fools, I thought, not to see through this trick. [03:13.58] I gathered together four of our strongest men, and armed them with my master's guns, determined to find Catherine. [03:27.40] But I was spared the task. [03:31.70] For just as we were about to set out, the door was flung open and in she rushed. [03:41.96] Her hair was wild, her dress torn, her hands cut and bleeding. [03:49.82] She had been locked in the same room that had once imprisoned her mother, and just as her mother had done, she had escaped through the window. [04:01.47] From there she had made her way down to the ground by a low sloping roof and the branches of a tree. [04:11.56] Nelly, she cried. [04:14.66] He's not dead, is he? [04:18.98] No, miss, I said, but there is not much time left. [04:26.89] She was with him when he died. [04:33.72] Soon after the funeral of my master, Heathcliff paid a visit to the Grange. [04:41.67] His purpose, he stated, was to take Catherine back to Wethering Heights. [04:49.77] Your husband needs you, he told her. [04:53.52] He is ill. [04:56.91] Your place is by his side. [05:00.57] The law says so, miss. [05:03.43] Hurry and pack your things. [05:10.21] She didn't even try to argue with him, knowing it to be useless, but just went to her room and returned in a short while with a bag. [05:23.30] Nelly, she said, is my pony saddle? [05:31.22] You may do without your pony, said Heathcliff. [05:36.21] It's a fine night and we'll walk. [05:41.12] You'll need no ponies at Wethering Heights. [05:46.01] The only journeys you'll make there, your own feet will take you. [05:54.18] She bent and kissed my cheek, and that was the last I saw of my little mistress. [06:07.02] And that, sir, said Nelly, is the end of my story.
