Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Chapter nine. By the time Iwas hiding Hareton in the cupboard, Hindley
entered masquerading oaths. Aretton was frightenedboth by the effect and anger of his
father, because, in the firstcase, he risked being held with his
brutal embraces and in the second,he was exposed to being smashed into a
wall or thrown into the light.So the boy always stood still in the

(00:24):
places where I was hiding him.At last I find Hindley crying out,
holding me by the skin of theback of my neck as if I were
a dog in the sky that youhave conjured to kill the child. Now
I understand why you keep him awayfrom me. But with the help of
Satan Helena, I' m goingto make you swallow the tricch. Don

(00:45):
' t take Risa. I've just thrown Kenneth upside down in the
black horse swamp and since I've been given two or one, I
feel like killing one of you andI' ve got to get you and
I' ve got to get you. Well, Mr Helley, I answered,
leave me alone. I don't like the taste of the Trinchete
It' s about cutting starters Ibetter shoot myself. If you want.

(01:07):
I want you to go to theDevil answered no English law prevents a man
from having a decent house and mineis detestable. Open that mouth. I
try to slip the knife between mylips, but I, who was never
afraid of their madness, insisted thatit tasted very bad and would not swallow
it. Devil cried out at meall of a sudden. Now I realize
that rascal is not hareton forgives elena. If I was, I' d

(01:34):
deserve to get her smoldered alive fornot coming to greet me and standing there
squealing like I' m a spectreYou see here denatured. Engendro, I
' ll teach you to cheat ona gullible, kind father, hear Elena.
It' s not true that thisguy would be better off without ears.
Cutting them makes dogs more ferocious andI like ferocity. Give me the

(01:57):
scissors. Appreciate either the ears constituteor a diabolical affectation. Not to stop
having the. We' d stopbeing asses shut up kid go, but
if it' s me it's my baby, wipe your eyes and
kiss me little mine I' llmake a damned kiss me. Lord how
I could have begotten such a monster. I' m gonna break his Hareton

(02:21):
skull. He argued in his father' s arms crying and kicking and loudened
his screams. When Hindley took himto the top of the ladder and suspended
him in the air, I yelledat him that he was going to scare
the child and rushed to run tosave him. When Hille got to the
top he had looked up at therailing listening to a rumor he felt downstairs
and had almost forgotten Hareton who wasgoing to ask, feeling that someone was

(02:45):
approaching the foot of the ladder.I recognized Heathcliff' s footsteps and looked
up to him to signal him tostop. But the moment I stopped looking
at the boy, he made asudden move and fell into the void.
Not so well I had shuddered withhorror. He had already repaired that the
child was safe Herkll arrived at thatprecise moment and by instinctive impulse, he

(03:05):
took the child, put him onthe ground and looked at the cause of
what happened. When he saw thatit was Mr Air Shaw, the face
of Heathcly showed an impression similar tothat of a miser selling a lottery ticket
of five chilines and knowing the nextday that he had thus lost a prize
of five thousand pounds. In Heathlet' s countenance it was clearly read how

(03:29):
heavy he was to have become aninstrument of the failure of his vengeance.
I would have sworn that, hadthere been no light, he would have
remedied his mistake by crashing the childagainst the pavement. But anyway, thanks
be to God, Harrelson was savedand at a few moments I was downstairs
pressing my precious burden against my heart. Hindley came to himself from his drunkenness
descended the stairs very troubled. You' re to blame, he told me

(03:53):
you should have put the child outof my reach. He' s hurt
himself, hurt himself, screams outraged. You fool if he doesn' t
die. I' m amazed thatyour mother doesn' t raise her sepulchre
when she sees how she treats you. You are worse than an enemy of
God treating your own child like this. He wanted to touch the child who,
feeling with me, had recovered fromhis fear. But Hareton then started

(04:15):
screaming and shaking again. Leave himalone. I said I hate him,
as everyone hates him. Of course, what a happy family you have and
what a beautiful situation you have cometo. You' ll be prettier ahead.
Elena replied that bastard, regaining hishabit to the appearance of hardness,
go away and take the child fromhere you Heathkey, do the same for

(04:39):
tonight. I don' t thinkI' ll kill you unless I come
up with a fire in the house. We' ll see and a glass
of brandy is out. No moreVeva. I begged him to have mercy
on this poor child, since hewill not have a pity on himself with
anyone better than me. He answeredme, have you compassion of your own

(05:00):
soul. I said trying to takehis cup out of his hand. I
don' t want to want tosend her to hell to punish her creator
replaced toast for eternal superstition. Hedrank and sent us away not without releasing
a series of oaths that better notrepeat how much regret he did not kill

(05:20):
himself drinking commented Heathcliff, repeating inhis turn another series of imprecations. When
the door was closed, he doeseverything he can for it, but it
is of a very robust nature andwill not succeed. Mr Kenneth claims that
he will hear more than all ofGimmerton' s and that he will grow

(05:41):
in love drinking unless something unexpected happensto him. I sat in the kitchen
and started putting my little lamb into sleep. Heathclick crossed the kitchen.
I thought he was going to thebarn, but then it turned out that
he had fallen on a bench bythe wall and remained silent there. I
rocked Hareton on my knees. Asong had begun that said it was night
and the children cried in their cavesof Ahugnos they heard it all of a

(06:08):
sudden. Miss Catherine popped her headthrough the door of her room and asked
is Helena alone. Yes, ma' am, I answered, and he
came over to the alum. Iunderstood he wanted to tell me something on
his face. He read the anxiety, opened his lips as if to speak,
but only breathed out. She continuesto sing without talking to him,

(06:29):
as she had not forgotten her previousbehavior. Where is Heathcliff asked working on
the block. I said the boydidn' t refuse. Maybe he would
have fallen asleep or a silence onCatherine' s cheeks. A tear was
slipping. I wondered if she wouldbe upset by her conduct, which would
have been an unusual fact in her, but there was no such thing.

(06:51):
She didn' t worry about anything, not being what she did to her.
Oh dear you finally said what adisgrace I am is a shame I
repeated that you are so difficult tocontent with so many friends and so few
worries. He has every reason tobe satisfied. You keep a secret from
me. Helena asked me, lookingat me with that expression of hers,

(07:15):
which disarmed the most angry at manyresentments that she had with her, I
asked less harshly. Yeah, andI have to tell you. I need
to know what to do. EduardoLinton asked me to marry him and I
answered him. But before you tellhim what I' ve answered, you
tell me what I should have answeredhim. Truly, Miss, I do

(07:39):
not know what to answer you,considering the scene that you have made you
contemplate this afternoon. The best thingwould have been to reject him, because
if he still asks for relationships afterher, he' s either a complete
fool or he' s crazy.If you keep talking like that, I
won' t tell you anymore.She exclaimed by rising up sulking. I
' ve accepted him. Tell meif I' ve done wrong and soon

(08:03):
if he' s accepted it ornot. I see there' s nothing
to talk about. Not to youto withdraw your word, but I want
you to tell me if you rightlyprayed insisted with irritable tone, twisting your
hands and frowning. To answer that, many things would have to be taken
into account. I said sentiently,first of all, he loves Mr Eduardo.

(08:24):
Naturally, I asked him a numberof questions. It was not entirely
indiscreet to do so, as itwas a very young girl. Why do
you want him, Miss Catalina,what a question. I love him and
nothing else. It' s notenough to tell me why? Because he
' s handsome and I like tobe with him bad, I commented and
because he' s young and cheerfulbadder and because he loves me that has

(08:50):
nothing to do with him and whyhe became rich and I' d like
to be the most affluent lady inthe region, because I' d be
proud to have a husband like him. That' s the worst of all.
And tell me, as we readto you, like everyone else,
elena you look silly don' tbelieve it. Answer me, for I
love the ground on which he putshis feet and the air around him and
all that he touches and all thewords he utters and all that he looks

(09:13):
at and all that he does.I love him completely and what' s
more good you take it to play. It' s too bad, but
it' s not a joke forme. Said the angry young woman looking
at the fire. I don't take it into consideration. Miss Catherine,
you say you love Master Edward becausehe is handsome and young and cheerful
and rich and because he loves youthe latter would mean nothing. You would

(09:37):
love him the same, even ifthat were not the case, and that
is why you would not want himunless you gathered the other qualities. Naturally,
I would feel sorry for him,and I might even hate him if
he were ugly as an ordinary man, for in the world there are other
handsome and rich boys and more thanMaster Edward. Maybe, but I'

(09:58):
ve only seen one and it's Eduardo. Later you can meet someone
else and he will not always beyoung and handsome too will be able to
stop being rich. I don't have to think about the future,
you could speak with more common sense, then nothing. If I don'
t think about it, you usethe present to marry Mr Eduardo. That

(10:20):
' s why I don' tneed your permission. Of course I'
ll marry him, but you haven' t told me yet whether I'
m doing well or not. It' s okay if you get married thinking
only at the moment. Now tellme what your brother' s worried about.
The elderly Linton will be happy.I don' t think they'
ll make any amends. You're gonna get out of one messy house
to go to another. Very nice. We love your boyfriend and I love

(10:41):
you. Everything is clear and simple. Where you see the obstacle here and
here or where the soul may be, Catherine replaced by hitting her forehead and
chest. I have the impression thatI don' t work well what a
strange thing. I won' texplain it to you, because I'
ll explain it to you as bestI can. If you promise me you

(11:03):
won' t make fun of me. Catherine sat next to me, she
was dris and I noticed her handswere bonded and shivering elena. You never
dream of strange things. He toldme after a moment of reflection. Sometimes
I answered I too have sometimes dreamedof things I have never forgotten. They

(11:24):
' ve already changed my mind.They have passed through my soul and given
it a new color, as whenthe water is added wine and one that
I have stopped is of that kind. I' m gonna tell you,
but get rid of smiling for amoment. Don' t tell me.
Miss, I interrupted you. We' ve got enough trouble here to walk

(11:45):
around with nightmares that distress us evenmore Look at little Hareton. That one,
he doesn' t dream anything.Sad to see how sweet he smiles.
I also know how sweetly you denyyour father. I guess you'
ll remember when I was as youngas this kid. Anyway, you have
to listen to me. Elena's not very long. Besides, I

(12:07):
don' t feel jovial today Idon' t want to hear it.
I hastened to answer because I wasand am still very superstitious in a matter
of dreams and Catherine' s countenancehad become so bleak that I feared to
hear the omen of some horrific misfortune. She apparently got angry and didn'
t keep going to anything else andspied. I would be very unhappy if

(12:28):
I were in heaven, because itis not worthy of you to go to
him I answered all sinners would bevery unhappy in heaven. That' s
not why I once dreamed I wasin heaven. I told you, Miss,
I don' t want to hearabout your dreams. I' m
going to bed. He laughed andforced me to sit down, for I

(12:50):
dreamt that I was in heaven,that I understood and noticed everything that was
not my house, that my heartwas broken from crying to return to earth
and that at last you knew thatthey were so angry that they threw me
out. I went to fall inthe middle of the weeds at the top
of drunken peaks and woke up cryingwith joy. Now, with that explanation,
you can understand my secret. Ihave so much interest in marrying Eduardo

(13:15):
Linton as in going to heaven andif my evil brother hadn' t treated
poor Heathcliff so badly. I wouldn' t have thought about it. Never
marrying Heathley would be lowering us,but he will never know how much I
love him, and not because heis handsome, but because there is more
of me in which in myself Ido not know what composition our souls will

(13:35):
have, but whatever it is,his same as mine and instead Edward'
s is as different as lightning,it is from moonlight or the snow of
flame. I had not finished speakingwhen I noticed the presence of Harkley,
who at that time was joining andgoing out. I had only heard until
she heard Catherine say that she wouldlower her marriage to him. She immediately

(13:58):
got up and left, but shewho was on her back did not repair
her movements or her march. Ihad shuddered and signaled him to mute why.
He asked looking anxiously around him,because Joseph came I answered referring to
the noise of the car, whichtold today' s opportunity to advance along

(14:18):
the way and Heathcliff will come withhim for the best. He' s
right behind the door. He couldn' t hear from the door. He
answered me. Give me Hareton tohave him while he' s making dinner
and then let me have dinner.With you, Headley really doesn' t
realize those things and doesn' tknow what love is. I don'
t see why I know all thesefeelings. I answered and it is you

(14:41):
who are in love with. Surelyhe will be very unhappy, for as
soon as you get married, hewill be without love, without friendship and
without everything he has thought of theconsequences that separation will have for him when
he realizes that he is entirely alonein the world.“ Miss Catalina,
what are you talking about separating usor staying alone in him?” the
world replied indignantly. Who was toseparate us. There' s the one

(15:05):
who tried before he left Headley,he' d do without all the lintons
in the world. I don't propose such a thing. I wouldn
' t marry if it were tohappen like this. Heathcliff will be for
me when I marry what has alwaysbeen my husband. Now that you look
at him, you won' thave to at least bear him, and
you will when you know my truefeelings. I see Helena that you consider
me selfish, but you have tounderstand that yes, Heathcliff and I would

(15:30):
get married, we would live likebeggars. Instead, if I marry Linton,
I can help Headley get free frommy brother' s prison, and
that with her husband' s goodswon' t be as easy as you
think. I have no authority toexpress my opinion, but it seems to
me that this is the worst reasonyou have given to explain your marriage to

(15:50):
the Lord. Eduardo. He's the best she said. The others
referred to satisfying my whims and pleasingEdward. I can' t explain myself,
but I think you and everyone hasthe idea that, after this life
and another, why I was tobe created if before it was already entirely
contained here. All my pains inthis world have consisted of the pains Heathcliff

(16:12):
has suffered and I have followed themstep by step since they started thinking about
him fills my whole life. Ifthe world disappeared and he was saved,
I would still live. But ifhe disappeared and the rest remained the same,
I couldn' t live. Iam fond of lintons like the leaves
of the trees, and I knowwell that it will change over time,

(16:34):
but my affection for Heathcliff is asare the rocks of the bottom of the
earth, which remain eternally equal withoutever changing. It' s an affection
I can' t do without.Elena I am Heathlip' s I have
him constantly in my mind, thoughnot always as a pleasant thing. I
don' t always like myself,either, don' t talk about separating

(16:57):
us anymore, because that' simpossible. He fell and hid his head
in my lap, but I tookit away from me because I had lost
my patience with his numerous foolishness.The only thing I see, Miss,
I told you is either that youignore a married woman' s duties or
that you don' t have aconscience and don' t tell me any

(17:22):
more because I' ll tell youbut you won' t talk about it.
She was going to insist, butJose came in and we suspended the
catalina conversation with Harriston. He wentto one end of the kitchen and there
I waited while I was preparing dinner, once he was ready, Joseph and
I started arguing about who should takehim to Mr Heilley and we only agreed
when he had almost cooled down.The agreement was to wait for the master

(17:44):
to ask, as we were bothvery afraid to deal with him when he
locked himself in his room and thatidiot has not returned from the field,
even what he will be doing.Let' s see that Holgazán said the
old man when he noticed that Henciswas not present I' m going to
look for him with you in youmust be in the barn, although I
called him. He didn' tanswer me. When I returned, I

(18:04):
whispered in Catherine' s ear thatthe boy had surely heard part of our
dialogue and explained to her that Ihad seen him leave the kitchen at the
time she was referring to her brother' s behavior. With him he leaped
down in his seat and threw himselfin search of his companion, without even
reflecting on the cause of the troublethat was taking him so long. He

(18:26):
was absent that Joseph proposed that wewait no longer for them, supposing with
his usual tendency to think badly thathe would stay away so that he would
not have to attend his long prayersof blessing from the table. He added,
therefore, for the sake of thesouls of the young, one more
prayer to the accustomed ones and wouldstill have increased another in thanksgiving if the

(18:48):
lady had not reappeared, ordering himto leave immediately to seek Heathclip, wherever
he was and bring him back.I want to talk to you before I
go upstairs. He said the dooris open and he must be far away,
for I called him from the penand he does not answer. Although
Joseph made a few objections, Ijust put on my hat and left grumbling

(19:10):
at her so excited that she didnot admit catalina contradiction she started to walk
from one end of the room tothe other, exclaiming what will become of
him, where he will have gone, what I said Elena. I remember
you' ll be offended about theafternoon. Oh, my God, I
' ll have told you to offendhim. I want you to come,

(19:30):
I want to see you how muchI' m barking. I didn'
t get it back at all,although I was also quite restless. You
' re running a little too fast. I think it' s cause for
alarm that Heathclip walks through the swampsin the moonlight or is lying in the
barn without wanting to talk, maybehe' s listening to us. I
' m going to find him andgo back to his search, but no

(19:51):
result. The same thing happened toJoseph. He came back saying how impossible
that boy is. He has leftthe gate open and the lady' s
cow has escaped to the meadow afterspoiling two beams of grain. He'
ll be punished by the master tomorrowfor those demon games and he' ll
do well. Too much patience hasin tolerating so many oversights, but it
will not always be the same everythingwe have to see. Heatley' s

(20:14):
doing everything he can to get themaster out of court. Well, you
found it or not animal. Sheinterrupted him. Catalina. You looked for
him as I sent you better Iwould have looked for the horse, it
would have been more reasonable. Heanswered. But he can' t find
one or the other on a nightas black as today' s and if

(20:34):
I whistle to call him right,he' s probably not coming. Maybe
he won' t play deaf.If I whistled to you, I ran
the summer. But the night,in fact, was very dark threatened Storm
and I advised them to sit downbecause surely the rain would bring Heathcliff back
without having to worry about finding him. But Catherine did not calm down and

(20:56):
went and came in constant turmoil somewhereelse. At last he leaned on the
wall by the road and remained there, despite my observations, sometimes calling hempley
others listening in hopes of feeling himreturn and others crying dissolubly like a child.
At midnight, the storm fell ondrunken peaks. No effect of lightning

(21:18):
or bandaval. A tree next tothe house trolled and one of its large
branches fell on the roof, collapsingthe pipe of the chimney, which caused
a light of stones and soot toplummet on the stove. We thought there
had been lightning between us and Josephknelt on his knees to ask God to
remember noy Lot and by punishing evilto forgive the righteous, I sensed that

(21:44):
then we were going to be reachedby divine wrath. In my mind,
Mr Airshow appeared like Jonah and fearedthat he would have died and left me
at his door. He answered insuch a way and with such phrases that
Joseph was to interpret God with increasedvehemence that at the time of his going,
he would make the opportune separation betweenrighteous like him and sinners as his

(22:06):
master. In short, the stormacquiesced within a few minutes without having caused
either Joseph or me any evil,even if it is catalina that for having
stubbornly continued in the rain, withouteven putting a coat or anything to the
head. She came back soaked,sat down, leaned her head on the
back of the bench and put herhands to the light. Daughter, Miss,

(22:29):
I told you by touching your shoulder. You' ve been trying to
kill yourself. You know what timeit is, 12: 30. Go
to bed. It' s nolonger a matter of waiting for that memo.
He' ll have extended to Gimmertonand sleep the Jim He' ll
understand that we won' t expecthim to come back at this hour.
Besides, he' ll be afraidthat Mr Stemper and that he' s

(22:52):
the one who opens him shouldn't be in Gimmerton. José replied and
I am not surprised that he layat the bottom of a swamp. This
has been a cattle and keep inmind, Miss, that next time it
will be your demos. Thank Godfor everything, his designs always lead to
the best even misfortunes. As thesacred texts say. He began repeating passages

(23:15):
from the Bible, mentioning the correspondingchapters and verses. Harta' s insisting
on the young stubborn to dry upand change her clothes. I left her
with her tiritona and Joseph with hersermons, and went to bed with Hareton,
who was deep asleep today to Josephread then I felt him climb the
ladder and immediately. I fell asleepmyself. The next day I got up

(23:37):
a little later the usual thing andwhen I got down I saw Miss Catherine,
who was still sitting next to thehome Mr Hindley sleepy and with deep
shiners. I was in the kitchentoo and I was saying what' s
wrong with you, Catalina, you' re sadder than a wet, discolored
puppy. Nothing else is wrong withme. Catherine answered grumpy, but she

(24:00):
took a wet and I feel cold. I saw that the lord was already
serene and I exclaimed is my naughtyone. He went to his bones when
yesterday' s rain and he insistedon staying all night by the fire.
All night he exclaimed surprised Mr Airshawand why it would not have been for
fear of the storm. Neither Catherinenor I wished to mention Heathley as long

(24:26):
as we could prevent him, soI replied that he had wanted to stay
there and she said nothing. Inthe morning the fresh opened the windows and
the perfumes of the garden penetrated theroom, but Catalina told me saw,
Elena I am exhausted and her teethgnashed. As she approached the light,
almost Cold is sick. Hindley assuredhim by taking his pulse. That'

(24:47):
s why he didn' t sleepDamn it, I can' t be
free of disease in this house.Why did you put yourself in the rain
for walking after the young men asusual? He hastened to say Joseph releasing
his cursed tongue. If I werein your case, sir, I'
d hit the door in the noseof all of them, little lords and

(25:10):
villagers, every day you come out, the linton gets in here like a
cat. Meanwhile, Helena, whois good also watches from the kitchen and
when you enter through a door,he comes out the opposite and then this
good piece goes next to the other. You have to watch him walk at
twelve o' clock in the nightin naughty country with that devilish gypsy from
Heathcliff. You imagine I' mblind, but you' re wrong.

(25:33):
“ I have seen young Linton comeand go and I have seen you bad
Witch added looking at me and alertingthem as soon as the helmets of the
lord’ s horse sounded on theway insolent silence,” Catherine shouted.
Linton came by chance yesterday Hindley andI told him to leave when you came
because I figured you wouldn' tlike to see him, given the way

(25:57):
you arrived. You lie, Catalina, I' m sure and you'
re a fucking idiot. He's got his brother back. Don'
t tell me about Linton. Forthe moment tell me if you' ve
been, if you' ve beenwith Heathcliff tonight. Don' t be
afraid I' ll mistreat you.I hate him, but recently he did
me a service and that keeps mefrom breaking his head. What I will

(26:18):
do will be to throw him outon the street today and then walk with
eyes the others, for all mybad mood will fall upon you. I
haven' t seen Heathcliff tonight.He answered catalina in tears. If you
throw him out of the house,I' ll go with him, but
maybe you can' t do italready, maybe he' s gone out
of jail. He began to utterinarticulate sounds. Helle directed a flood of

(26:44):
rudeness to her and brought her upto her room, threatening her that otherwise
she would have real reason to weep. I had him obey him and I
will never forget the scene he gaveme when he was in his bedroom.
It terrified me to the point thatI thought I was going to go crazy
and Joseph would run to call thedoctor. Mr Kenneth sought a beginning of

(27:07):
delirium. She said she was seriouslyill. He bled her to reduce the
heat and ordered her to give heronly milk and waste water and to keep
a close eye on her to preventher from throwing herself out of the window
or through the stairs at once.He left because he had too much work,
since among his sick people' shouses there were sometimes two to three

(27:30):
miles. I admit I didn't behave like an excellent nurse and Joseph
and the Master didn' t dobetter than me either. But despite it
and her own whims, the sickwoman managed to overcome the gravity of her
condition. Mother Eduardo made several visitsto us, tried to order the things
of the house. She was alwaysgiving us orders and reprimanding us and finally,
when Catherine was better, she tookher to the Farm, which,

(27:53):
by the way, we thanked hervery much. But the poor lady had
reason to regret her gentleness. Sheand her husband contracted the fever and died.
In a few days. The youngwoman returned home more violent and intractable
than ever. We never heard fromHeathcliff again. One day when she had

(28:15):
made me lose my patience, Ihad the clumsiness to accuse her of the
boy' s disappearance was true asshe was aware, and my accusation caused
me to break up with me everydeal, except the one for the things
of the house. She lasted severalmonths. Joseph also fell, in disgrace,
he did not know how to silencehis thoughts and he insisted on continuing

(28:37):
to preach it as if Catherine werea child, when in reality she was
a woman made and right. Andbesides, our master for Colmo, the
doctor had recommended not to oppose herand she considered that we committed a crime
when we contradicted her. He didnot treat either his brother or his brother
Henley' s friends, whom Kennethhad spoken seriously, but sought to dominate

(29:00):
his outbursts and not excite Catherine's evil temper, and even behaved with
too much indulgence, though more thanout of affection he did because he wished
her to honor the family. MarryingLinton, she cared very little that Catherine
treated us as slaves, as longas she left him alone. Edward felt
as foolish as so many others havebeen before him and will continue to be.

(29:26):
On the day he took Catherine tothe altar, three years after the
death of her parents, she hadto abandon drunken peaks to accompany Catherine.
Little Hareton was then five years oldand I had started teaching him how to
read the farewell. It was verysad, but Catherine' s tears were
heavier than ours. At first,I didn' t want to leave with

(29:51):
her and seeing that her plea didn' t move me, she went to
complain to her boyfriend and her brother. The first offered me, magnified my
salary, and the second ordered meto leave, as I did not need
women in the house. As Haretonsaid, the parish priest would take over,
so I had no choice but toobey. I told the Master that
