Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Chapter five over time Mr Airshow beganto decay had been a Recicane man,
but when his forces abandoned him andhe was forced to spend his life next
to the chimney, he became suspiciousirritable, offended by a small thing and
was angry at any imaginary disrespect.This could be especially appreciated when someone pretended

(00:25):
to make his favorite object of somedeception or of some Dominar' s attempt
jealously watched over him not to beoffended with any word, and it seemed
that he had the idea in hishead that the affection with which he distinguished
Heathcliff made everyone hate him and desirehis evil. This was to the detriment

(00:46):
of the boy, because since noone wished to upset the master, we
were inclined to all the whims ofhis favorite and thereby encouraged his pride and
his evil character. On two orthree occasions, Helley’ s contempt for
Heathlin in the presence of his fatherexcited the schoolgirl and the old man,
who took his base to beat hisson and shivered in anger not to be

(01:08):
able to do so for lack ofstrength. Finally, the parish priest,
because he then knew that a priestwho made a living by giving lessons to
the children of the Linton and AirShaw families and by doing the same,
advised Hindley to be sent to schooland Mr Airshaw consented to it, albeit

(01:29):
reluctantly, as he said that Hindleywas an obstuse and could not benefit from
it. Whatever was done. Ihurt, seeing how clear Mr Parrawh is
of the results of his good hour, I hoped that peace would be restored.
It seemed to me that family dislikeswere making his old age bitter.
Otherwise, he did everything he wantedand things wouldn' t have gone so

(01:51):
bad unless it was for Miss Catherineand Joseph the servant. I suppose you
' ve seen him was and mustremain the most odious Pharisee ever seen.
Always soon to believe themselves to bethe object of divine blessings and to cast
curses upon your neighbor in the nameof God. His sermons gave Mr Arshaw

(02:12):
much impression, and as he wentweak and Joseph' s dominion grew so
much over him, he did notcease a moment of mortifying him with considerations
of eternal salvation and of the needto educate his children well and rigidly.
He tried to make him consider Hellya reprobate and told him a long account

(02:34):
of the devilship of Heathcliff and Catherine, without prejudice to accumulating the greatest faults
about her with which he believed toflatter the inclinations of the master. Truly,
Catherine was the most capricious and naughtygirl I' ve ever seen,
and she made us lose patience athousand times a day, from the time
she got up until she lay down. He wouldn' t let us sit

(02:57):
down for a minute. He alwayshad the genius soon to dispute and never
gave peace to his mouth. Shesang laughing and mocked everyone who didn'
t do the same thing as her. Anyway, I think he didn'
t have bad feelings, because whenhe made someone suffer a lot he rushed
to his side to console him,but he had an excessive affection for Heathcliff

(03:20):
He couldn' t be punished morethan separated from him, even though they
were always laughing at him because ofhim. When he played, he liked
to be a lady and used hishands more than the bill to impose his
authority. He wanted to do thesame with me, but I let him
know he wasn' t willing totake his blows or his orders. Mr
Ironshow couldn' t handle games.She had always been severe with her children

(03:46):
and Catherine was wrong to explain whyin her old age she was more scolding
than before. He seemed to havea perverse pleasure in provoking him was happier
than ever when we all surrounded himby reproaching him because he could look at
us, repulsing us with gag,mocking Joseph' s pious invocations, seeking

(04:09):
our turns and, in short,doing what was most displeasing to his father.
Moreover, he prayed as if hewere interested in showing that he had
more empire over Heathcliff than his father, despite his insolence, with all his
kindness toward him. After doing duringthe day as much evil as possible.
When night arrived, he came tohis father lovingly wanting to reconcile with him.

(04:30):
By cuddle. Get out, Catalina, the old man said I can
' t love you You' reeven worse than your brother Anda. Go
pray and ask God to forgive youvery much. I' m afraid I
' m gonna have to weigh onyour mother and me for giving you the
self. At first, her reasoningmade her cry, but then she became
accustomed to them and laughed when herfather told her to ask for forgiveness of

(04:55):
her evils. At last the timecame for Lord Eusham' s pains to
end on earth. He died onenight in October peacefully sitting on his couch
next to the fire. A strongwind blew around the house and sounded in
the barrel of the chimney. Itwas a violent and tempestuous air, but
not cold. But not cold.We were all together, I a little

(05:23):
far from the light making the sockand Joseph reading the Bible. The servants.
Then, once they finished their chores, they used to meet in the
living room with the gentlemen. MissCatherine was peaceful because she had recently passed
a disease and remained resting on herfather' s knees. Heathcliff. He

(05:43):
had lying on the ground with hishead on top of Catherine' s lap.
The master, as I remember well, before falling into the support that
should not go out, caressed thebeautiful hair of the girl and, surprised
to see her so judicious, saidwhy it should not always be good.
She looked at him laughing, answeredhim and you, father, why should

(06:06):
not always be good. Then,seeing that he was upset, he kissed
his hand and told him that hewas going to sing to make him sleep.
He began, in effect, tosing quietly after a while. The
old man' s fingers abandoned thegirl' s hair and bowed her head
on her chest. I sent Catherineto shut up and not to move so

(06:27):
she wouldn' t wake the master. For more than half an hour we
remained silent and would not have followedus any longer. So that Joseph did
not wake up saying that it wastime to wake the Lord to pray and
lie down. He stepped forward,called and touched his shoulder. He sent
so much that he didn' tmove, took the candle and looked at
him. When he turned the lightoff, we realized something abnormal was going

(06:49):
on. He took each child byan arm and told him quietly to go
up to his room and pray alone, because he had much to do that
night. Before I retire, I' m going to say good night to
Dad Catherine said and put her armsaround his neck before we could avoid it.
I immediately understood what was going onand exclaimed," Oh, he

(07:12):
' s dead" Heathclip was deadand both began to cry in a way
that would tear the heart apart.I also began to cry, but Joseph
interrupted us by telling us why wewere crying so much for a saint who
had gone to heaven. Then hetold me to put on my coat and
run to Hinmerton to find the doctorand the priest. I could not understand

(07:32):
what they were going to serve oneor the other, but nevertheless I came
out hastily. Even though I washaving a really bad night. The doctor
came immediately I left Joseph explaining tothe doctor and I went up to the
children' s room they had leftthe door open and they didn' t
seem to think of going to bed, although it was more than midnight,

(07:56):
but he was calmer and they didn' t need me to comfort them.
In their innocent conversation, their puerilesouls wrote each other the beauties of heaven,
as no priest would have known.I heard them crying and thanked God
that we were there, the threesafely gathered. Page Fifty- two
