Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Chapter thirteen two months were outside thefugitives. During that interval, the lady
suffered and dominated the most acute ofa brain fever that was, as they
diagnosed her ailment. No mother wouldhave cared for her son with more devotion
than Edward cared for his wife.Day and night he stood by her,
enduring all her troubles. Kennel didnot ignore that what he saved from the

(00:23):
tomb would only serve to increase Linton' s development. With a new source
of concern, Edward sacrificed his healthand energy to preserve the life of a
human pyltraphe. However, their gratitudeand joy were immense. When Catherine was
out of danger, whole hours yousat by her side, watching the progress

(00:44):
of her health and waiting deep downfor her wife also to regain mental balance
and become what she had been.The first time he left his room was
in early March. The lord inthe morning had put on his pillow a
bouquet of ura of saffron flowers.Catherine' s eyes stared at them.
They are the first flowers to sprouton the tops. He exclaimed I remember

(01:08):
the tempered winds that melt the ice, the warm sun and the last snow
Eduardo blows. The south wind hasmelted the snow. There' s no
snow here anymore, dear. Herhusband answered. Only two white spots are
visible throughout the swamps. The skyis blue, the larks sing and the
streams are full of current. Lastyear' s spring, Catalina, I

(01:34):
was shaking with impatience to have youwith me under this roof. Now,
on the other hand, I'd like to see you in those hills,
the air there is so pure thatit would certainly heal you. The
lord sent me to light the fireplaceof the living room, the living room
had been abandoned for so long,and to place it in its armchair by
the window. Catherine went to oneside for a long time in that room

(01:56):
and was reanimated by the heat andwith the view of the objects around her,
which, although familiar to her,differed from those she saw daily and
associated with her delusions, not beingable to darken, convince her to return
to her room, which she refusedto go again. I fixed a bed
on the couch while we had anotherroom, this room where it is now.

(02:17):
You were the one we arranged shortlyafter. Catherine was already relieved enough
to walk around the house leaning onEduardo' s arm. I was convinced
she' d be cured of it. It would also depend on the Lord
finding a new comfort in his tribulations, as we all expected the next birth

(02:38):
of a child. Isabel, sixweeks after her escape, sent her sister
a note, participating in her marriageto Heathcliff It was a very dry letter,
but she carried an apostate to thepencil that allowed to glimpse the remote
desire for reconciliation, adding that shehad not been in her will to avoid
what happened and that now she hadno remedy n did not answer, as

(03:01):
I figure, and fifteen days laterI received an incredible long letter in a
newly married woman who was still onthe honeymoon. I' m going to
read it because I keep it allmemory of a deceased. It' s
beautiful if he' s still esteemedas he was when he lived dear Elena.
Upon arriving at drunken peaks last night, she informed me for the first

(03:21):
time that Catherine has been and isstill very ill. I don' t
think it' s right to writeto him. It seems to me that
my brother is very upset with me, since he does not write me as.
However, I feel the need toaddress someone I write to you tell
Eduardo that I wish with all myheart to see him again that my soul
returned to the tordos farm, 24hours after leaving her and that in her

(03:44):
it is at this moment tell himthat I experience the greatest affection for him
and Catherine and that I cannot dowhat my soul does. Those words are
underlined in the letter, although Ibelieve that no one in that house has
to wait for me either, butthat de do not think that it is
by forgetfulness, by lack of affection, that it appears what seems fairer,

(04:05):
the rest of this letter is addressedto you Answer me before all two questions.
The first is how you manage toget along with everyone when you lived
here, because I can' tfigure out a way to understand myself with
those around me. The second questioninterests me very much. Tell me Heathcliff
is a human being and if heis, he' s crazy or he

(04:27):
' s a demon. I don' t need to explain the reasons for
these questions. You explain to meif you can. When you come to
see me what kind of being thisis that I' ve married. Don
' t write to me, butwhen you come, make sure that Edward
gives you some errand for me.I' m going to tell you about
the welcome I' ve had atthe summit of my new home. Apparently,
I' m telling you for entertainingme, not to complain about such

(04:50):
or such a lack of comfort.If I were the only thing that would
be wrong and the rest didn't exist, I think I' d
start dancing with joy. When Ifinished crossing the swamps, I was sunbathing.

It was supposed to be around 6 (05:00):
00. Heatley lost half an
hour in inspecting the park and thegardens, so it was already night when
we got off in the paved courtyardof La Quinta, so it was already
night when we got off in thetiled courtyard of the fifth, your old
servant, Joseph went out to meetus in a way that speaks very loudly

(05:21):
of his courtesy. The first thinghe did was to lift up to the
height of my face the spark plughe was carrying in his hand, to
sketch an evil wink, to pullforward he saw it lower and turn his
back. Then he took over thehorses, took him to the block and
reappeared at last to close the outsidedoor, as if we lived in an
ancient castle. Heathcliff talked to himfor a while and I entertained him in

(05:45):
the kitchen, which is a kindof dirty cave that you probably won'
t know if you saw her again, because she' s changed a lot
near the fire. It' sa sturdy little boy with a snug look,
something like Catherine in her eyes andmouth. He must be Edward'
s nephew I thought, and thereforehe' s a relative of mine to
a certain extent, so I mustshake his hand and kiss him. Let

(06:09):
' s try to establish friendly relationshipsin this house from the beginning. I
approached him and tried to hold hishand, I told him how you'
re wanted. He replied to mewith unintelligible words. We' ll be
friends. Hareton added an oath andadded the threat of throwing a dragon at
me. If I didn’ tgo up dragon screamed,“ He deventured

(06:32):
by scaring a dog that was ina corner and added, looking at me
what you’ re leaving” Theinstinct of conservation came to please him.
“ I went out and waited forthe others to arrive, but Heathclin did
not appear on any side and Joseph, to whom I asked him to accompany

(06:53):
me to my room,” Chachachá replied. He has never heard a
Christian speak in such a way thatanyone understands it. I' m saying
he' s coming with me tothe house. I screamed that I would
be deaf and quite angry at hisrude guidance I have more important things to
do and I keep taking care ofthose needs, moving my jaws and looking

(07:14):
scornfully at my dress and face.I think as much as the first one
was cute, he must have hadthe second one. I turned around to
the courtyard and arrived at another partwhere I was already waiting for some more
helpful servant to come. Soon thedoor opened and a tall, thin man
appeared. He did not wear atie and had a terrible look of abandonment
a tangle of hair falling to hisshoulders disfigured his countenance. Her eyes looked

(07:40):
like a reproduction of Catherine' s. What do you want, I wonder
who you are. My maiden namewas Isabel Linton. You know me.
You. I recently married Mr Heathclip, who brought nothing here. I guess
with your consent, so he's back. He asked lonely with a

(08:01):
sudden radiance in his stare of hungrywolf. Yeah, I said, but
he left me at the kitchen door, and when I wanted to get in,
his son drove me away, scaringa dog at me. I see
the miserable fucker has kept the wordresounded the man looking after me like he
was looking for Heathcliff. I wasalready sorry that I knocked on that door

(08:22):
and was about to leave when hesent me in and locked the door.
In the room there was a greatfire that constituted the only lighting of the
room. The floor was grey andthe dishes, which as a child I
was so attracted by their brightness,were covered in dust and mold. I
asked if I could call the Maidento take me to my room. Airshaw

(08:46):
didn' t dare answer me.He walked with his hands in his pockets,
completely alien to my presence. Apparentlyand so misanthropic that I felt that
I did not dare to bother callinghim will not miss Selena when I tell
you that I felt very sad inthat inhospitable home, a thousand times worse

(09:07):
than society and yet situated only fourmiles from my old and pleasant home where
the only people I love live inthe world. But it was the same
as if, instead of four miles, we were separated from the ocean by
an insurmountable abyss. In any case, the grief that most distressed me was
that I had no one to turnto to find a friend or ally against

(09:30):
Heathclip. On the one hand,I was glad that I had gone to
live on drunken peaks so I wouldn' t have to be alone with him,
because he knew what the people ofthis house were like and he wasn
' t afraid that he would intervenein our affairs. For a long and
distressing time I remained devoted to myreflections, eight o' clock sounded,
nine o' clock, and mycompanion continued to be devoted to his walk,

(09:56):
bowing his head over his chest andkeeping absolute silence, except for some
bitter exclamation that escaped him. Onceupon a time I tried to listen in
the hope of hearing in the houseto the voice of some woman and felt
so gloomy, distressed and painful thoughtsthat at last I could not contain a
crisis of tears nor did I myselfrealize how much my affliction was until the

(10:16):
surprised show stopped before me, takingadvantage of that instant and exclaimed. I
' m tired and I' dlike to rest. She wants to tell
me, please, where the Maidenis to go looking for her, since
she doesn' t come looking forme. We don' t have Doncella,
she said I don' t knowwhat to take care of herself and

(10:37):
where I' m going to sleep. I said I am holy, tiredness
and sorrow had already made me loseeven dignity. Joseph will teach Heathclip'
s room. He answered the doornow and will find him there. When
I obeyed he added with a singularaccent. Close the door with redneck.
Don' t forget. Why,Mr Arshaw, I inquired, since the
idea of locking myself up with Heathcliffdidn' t seduce me.“ Look

(11:01):
at this,” he replied,pulling a pistol out of his pocket with
a double- edged spring knife attachedto the gun. It is true that
it is a temptation for a desperateman, for there is not a single
night that can dominate the desire togo to try it the door of heathclipt
on the day that I find itopen is a lost man every night.
I do so inevitably, although beforeI do not stop thinking of multiple reasons

(11:24):
that advise me not to do so. There' s definitely some demon who
wants me to kill him to disruptmy own plans. Try, if you
call Heathclip, to fight this demon, for when the hour comes, not
all the angels of heaven assembled willbe able to save you. I looked
at the gun with curiosity and ahorrible thought. It came in my mind

(11:45):
how strong I would feel if Ihad such an artifact in my possession.
The expression not of amazement, butof greed that my face adopted for a
second amazed that man took from myhands the gun that I had taken to
examine it. He closed the Navyand hid the gun. I don'
t care if I talk to himabout this He said I can put him

(12:07):
on guard and watch over him.I see that you know the relationships that
unite us, since we are afraidof the danger that he runs. What
have you done, heathcly to justifythat terrible hatred. I asked no more
than to tell him to leave.Don' t cry out to Shaw if
he tries to leave me I'll kill him. I tried to persuade
you to do so and you willbe responsible for your murder. You think

(12:28):
I' m going to lose allof mine with no hope of getting it
back. He thinks I' mgonna consent to Harton being a goddamn beggar.
I' ll have Heathclin give itback to me and then I'
ll rip out his blood, too, and then the devil will take over
his soul. When he goes toHell, it will become a thousand times
more horrible with his presence. Iknew from you that your master is on

(12:52):
the verge of madness. I wasat least last night. Such fear gave
me its proximity, which even theroughness of Joseph seemed pleasant to me.
In comparison, He returned to hissilent walks and I then pushed the handle
and ran into the kitchen. Josephattended to the light on which he had
hung a pot and had beside hima wooden bowl with sheath soup. The

(13:16):
contents of the pot began to boiland he turned around in order to sink
his hands In the case, assumingthat everything would be destined for dinner,
I decided to cook something that wouldbe edible, as I felt hungry and
exclaimed I will prepare the soup.I took off the pot and started stripping
off my riding clothes. Mr Arnshawadded that he told me to take care

(13:39):
of myself. I myself am notgoing to walk here with mirages, because
I fear I would starve to deathMy God spoke if now that I have
managed to get used to the twoamul I will have to start to endure
other orders and have to obey alady. It' ll be a matter
of leaving. I thought I'd never have to leave this house,
but there' d be no choicebut to. I applied the task regardless

(14:03):
of your lamentations and I could nothelp but sigh as I remembered the times
when such work would have been anentertainment for me, The memory of the
lost adventures distressed me and to moreanguish more vividly stirred the mixer and faster
the handfuls of flour fell into thewater or looked furious how I cooked what

(14:24):
barbarity I commented you ran out ofsoup tonight Areton again in his place,
I would listen and all we aredone you once all that crap. And
thus conclude earlier. Yeah, man, yeah, plat my shadow that didn
' t twist the bottom of thebucket. The preparation I saw in the

(14:45):
season was much less than medium.There were four bowls and a jar of
milk on the table. Areton tookit, applied it to his lips and
began drinking, dropping some of thecorners of his mouth. I took him
back and told him that the milkwas drinking on and that I wouldn'
t take it. Then, whenyou take the jar to your mouth.
The old ruffian was very angry atmy scruples and I make sure with insistence

(15:09):
that the boy was worth as muchas I was and that he was healthy.
The boy continued to sip and drooland looked at me acrimoniously. I
' m going to have dinner somewhereelse. I said there' s nothing
here. Looks like a living room, living room. Joseph scoffed, there
' s no room. If ourcompany doesn' t suit you, you
have the masters' and if youdon' t like the masters',

(15:31):
ours. I' m going upstairs. I filled in a room, put
my bowl on a tray, andwent to get some more milk. I
myself, the man, reluctantly roseand accompanied me to the upper floor.
We arrived at the attic and wentshowing off their distinctive divisions. Here'
s a room that' s notbad to eat in it a soup said.

(15:52):
There' s a lot of cleanwheat in that corner. Anyway,
put on the handkerchief if you wantto preserve your elegant dress. That room
was of a guardilla smelling of barleyand wheat, and against the walls were
stacked sacks of cereal. Wow,I said annoying, I' m not
sleeping here. Show me an alcove. An alcove, now I' ll

(16:14):
show you all there is. That' s mine and she showed me another
shon camera just different from the firstone, because there was in the low
and large bed, without curtains andwith a quilt of color. Your bedroom
doesn' t interest me, Isaid. I taught Mr Heathclip' s
CoA to say it before. Hereplied as if he had spoken of something
extraordinary, he had already replied thathe did not waste his time, since

(16:37):
it is certain that he would notlet him in there. This man does
not allow anyone to pass. Nicehouse and magnificent rooms I replenished I see
that the fifth essence of human madnessinvaded my soul the day I married that
man. Anyway, it doesn't matter any other rooms. There will
be from Prisa and show me someplace where I can settle under five answer

(17:00):
and I arrived in a room that, by the traces, should be the
best. There was a good carpet, though covered in dust, a chimney
with a wall of wallpaper falling apart, an excellent oak bed, with modern
and expensive crimson curtains, but itall looked like it had been badly mistreated.

(17:21):
The curtains hung in any way halftorn from their rings and the metal
rod that supported it was crooked,so that the curtains dragged down the ground.
The chairs were damaged and the wallswere greatly damaged. I was about
to take possession of the bedroom whenI heard my clumsy man say. That

(17:44):
' s the master' s room. While the dinners had cooled my appetite,
I had dissipated and had exhausted mypatience violently insisted that I should be
given a place to rest, whereDemons began the blessed old man. God
forgive me Demons want to settle down. You go with a can. I
' ve already taught you everything butHarretton' s tab. There' s

(18:07):
nowhere else in the house to sleepfurious. I already threw the tray down
and everything it contained. Then Isat down in the rest of the stairwell
and broke into tears.“ Verywell, Miss,” Joseph said very
well. Now, when the masterfinds the remains of the cachers, he
will see the one who arms himselfwhat a foolish woman. You deserve not
to eat until Christmas, as youhave thrown our daily bread to the ground,

(18:30):
but it seems to me that youwill not last many such starts.
It appears that Heathcliff will endure suchmanners. I wouldn' t want anything
else, but I would have seenit at the time was enough. As
he rebuked me, he took thecandle, went to his cuchitril and left
me in darkness. After my outburstof anger I meditated and realized that I

(18:51):
needed to master my pride and trynot to get excited. I found an
improvised help in dragon to the onewho soon recognized. As the son of
our old puppy spy. I hadbeen to the farm and my father had
given it to Mr Hindley. Hemust have known me because he rubbed my
nose with his snout as he greetedme and then began to eat the spilled

(19:14):
soup, while I was walking aroundthe steps, taking the pots that he
threw away and cleaning with the handkerchiefthe stains of the milk of the railing.
We were just finishing the job.When we felt Airshaw' s footsteps
in the hallway, the dog shruggedhis tail and curled up against the wall
I slid through the nearest door.The noise of a downstairs fall and several
howling pains made me realize that thedog had not been able to dodge the

(19:41):
encounter Arshaw did not see me Iwas luckier, but a moment later came
Joseph with Hareton, in whose roomI had taken refuge and told me it
seems to me that the house isalready empty, there is room for both.
You made him proud, occupy himand remain with him, that he
sees everything and knows it and doesnot despise one bad company. I settled

(20:03):
in a chair next to the fireand slowly slept deeply, but my dream,
though pleasant, lasted very little.Headle, when I woke up and
asked me nicely what I was doingthere. I told him it hadn'
t cost me yet because he hadin his pocket the key to our room,
our expression offended him immensely. Heswore that it was not and would

(20:25):
never be mine and said, butI am gracious to you with his language
and his usual behavior. He triesto excite my hatred by all means.
His way of acting sometimes gives mea shock that makes me forget the terror
I feel. And that a tiger, a snake don' t scare me
any more than he does. Hetold me about Catherine' s illness and

(20:45):
blamed my brother for being the causeof it, adding that he considered me
as if I were Eduardo himself.For the purpose of revenge, I hate
how unfortunate I am and how foolishI have been, but don' t
talk at home about all this.I look forward to seeing you Don'
t miss Elizabeth Page one hundred andfifty- eight.
