If Milty Boulter talks like that about his mother at least you needn't repeat it," said Marilla severely.
"Bless my soul,". . .Davy had picked this expression up from Mr. Harrison and used it with great gusto. . ."Milty meant it as a compelment. He's awful proud of his mother, cause folks say she could scratch a living on a rock."
"I. . .I suppose them pesky hens are in my pansy bed again," said Marilla, rising and going out hurriedly.
The slandered hens were nowhere near the pansy bed and Marilla did not even glance at it. Instead, she sat down on the cellar hatch and laughed until she was ashamed of herself.

van vincent gogh night starry `What a noise for nothing!' I cried, though rather uneasy myself. `What a trifle scares you! It's surely no great cause of alarm that Heathcliff should take a moonlight saunter on the moors, or even lie too sulky to speak to us in the hay-loft. I'll engage he's lurking there. See if I don't ferret him out!'
I departed to renew my search; its result was disappointment, and Joseph's quest ended in the same.
`Yon lads gets war un war!' observed he on re-entering. `He's left th' yate ut t' full swing, and Miss's pony has trodden dahn two rigs uh corn, un plottered through, raight o'er intuh t' meadow! Hahsomdiver, t' maister 'ull play t' devil tomorn, and he'll do weel. He's patience itsseln wi' sich careless, offald craters--patience itsseln he is! Bud he'll nut be soa allus--yah's see, all on ye! Yah mum'nt drive him aht uf his heead for nowt!'
Have you found Heathcliff, you ass?' interrupted Catherine. `Have you been looking for him, as I ordered?'
`Aw sud more likker look for th' horse,' he replied. `It 'ud be tuh more sense. Bud, Aw can look for norther horse nur man uf a neeght loike this--as black as t' chimbley! und Hathecliff's noan t' chap to coom at maw whistle--happen he'll be less hard uh hearing wi' ye!'
It was a very dark evening for summer: the clouds appeared inclined to thunder, and I said we had better all sit down; the approaching rain would be certain to bring him home without further trouble. However, Catherine would not be persuaded into tranquillity. She kept wandering to and fro, from the gate to the door, in a state of agitation which permitted no repose; and at length took up a permanent situation on one side of the wall, near the road: where, heedless of my expostulations and the growling thunder, and the great drops that began to plash around her, she remained, calling at intervals, and then listening, and then crying outright. She beat Hareton, or any child, at a good passionate fit of crying.

'What! did he not leave England?'
'Leave England? Bless you, no! He would not cross the door-stones
of the house, except at night, when he walked just like a ghost
about the grounds and in the orchard as if he had lost his senses-
which it is my opinion he had; for a more spirited, bolder, keener
gentleman than he was before that midge of a governess crossed him,
you never saw, ma'am. He was not a man given to wine, or cards, or
racing, as some are, and he was not so very handsome; but he had a
courage and a will of his own, if ever man had. I knew him from a boy,

been sunk in the sea before she came to Thornfield Hall.'
'Then Mr. Rochester was at home when the fire broke out?'
'Yes, indeed was he; and he went up to the attics when all was
burning above and below, and got the servants out of their beds and
helped them down himself, and went back to get his mad wife out of her
cell. And then they called out to him that she was on the roof,
where she was standing, waving her arms, above the battlements, and
shouting out till they could hear her a mile off: I saw her and

misunderstood the word, and been displeased. I mean, that human
affections and sympathies have a most powerful hold on you. I am
sure you cannot long be content to pass your leisure in solitude,
and to devote your working hours to a monotonous labour wholly void of
stimulus: any more than I can be content,' he added, with emphasis,
'to live here buried in morass, pent in with mountains- my nature,
that God gave me, contravened; my faculties, heaven-bestowed,
paralysed- made useless. You hear now how I contradict myself. I,
who preached contentment with a humble lot, and justified the vocation
even of hewers of wood and drawers of water in God's service- I, His
ordained minister, almost rave in my restlessness. Well,
propensities and principles must be reconciled by some means.'
He left the room. In this brief hour I had learnt more of him
than in the whole previous month: yet still he puzzled me.
Diana and Mary Rivers became more sad and silent as the day
approached for leaving their brother and their home. They both tried
to appear as usual; but the sorrow they had to struggle against was
one that could not be entirely conquered or concealed. Diana intimated
that this would be a different parting from any they had ever yet.

Well,' he said, after some minutes' silence, 'it is strange; but
that sentence has penetrated my breast painfully. Why? I think because
you said it with such an earnest, religious energy, and because your
upward gaze at me now is the very sublime of faith, truth, and
devotion: it is too much as if some spirit were near me. Look
wicked, Jane: as you know well how to look: coin one of your wild,
shy, provoking smiles, tell me you hate me- tease me, vex me; do
anything but move me: I would rather be incensed than saddened.'
'I will tease you and vex you to your heart's content, when I
have finished my tale: but hear me to the end.'
'I thought, Jane, you had told me all. I thought I had found the

source of your melancholy in a dream.'
I shook my head. 'What! is there more? But I will not believe it to
be anything important. I warn you of incredulity beforehand. Go on.'
The disquietude of his air, the somewhat apprehensive impatience of
his manner, surprised me: but I proceeded.
'I dreamt another dream, sir: that Thornfield Hall was a dreary
ruin, the retreat of bats and owls. I thought that of all the
stately front nothing remained but a shell-like wall, very high and
very fragile-looking. I wandered, on a moonlight night, through the
grass-grown enclosure within: here I stumbled over a marble hearth.

I saw Mr. Rochester shudder: a singularly marked expression of
disgust, horror, hatred, warped his countenance almost to
distortion, but he only said-
'Come, be silent, Richard, and never mind her gibberish: don't
repeat it.'
'I wish I could forget it,' was the answer.
'You will when you are out of the country: when you get back to
Spanish Town, you may think of her as dead and buried- or rather,
you need not think of her at all.'
'Impossible to forget this night!'
'It is not impossible: have some energy, man. You thought you

talking now. There!- Carter has done with you or nearly so; I'll
make you decent in a trice. Jane' (he turned to me for the first
time since his re-entrance), 'take this key: go down into my
bedroom, and walk straight forward into my dressing-room: open the top
drawer of the wardrobe and take out a clean shirt and
neck-handkerchief: bring them here; and be nimble.'
I went; sought the repository he had mentioned, found the
articles named, and returned with them. van vincent gogh night starry

as if a man had anything to do with beauty! As if loveliness were
not the special prerogative of woman- her legitimate appanage and
heritage! I grant an ugly woman is a blot on the fair face of
creation; but as to the gentlemen, let them be solicitous to possess
only strength and valour: let their motto be:- Hunt, shoot, and fight:
the rest is not worth a fillip. Such should be my device, were I a
man."

'Whenever I marry,' she continued after a pause which none
interrupted, 'I am resolved my husband shall not be a rival, but a
foil to me. I will suffer no competitor near the throne; I shall exact
an undivided homage: his devotions shall not be shared between me
and the shape he sees in his mirror. Mr. Rochester, now sing, and I
will play for you.'
'I am all obedience,' was the response.
'Here then is a Corsair-song. Know that I doat on Corsairs; and for
that reason, sing it con spirito.'

'You are sure, then, Helen, that there is such a place as heaven,
and that our souls can get to it when we die?'
'I am sure there is a future state; I believe God is good; I can
resign my immortal part to Him without any misgiving. God is my
father; God is my friend: I love Him; I believe He loves me.'
'And shall I see you again, Helen, when I die?'
'You will come to the same region of happiness: be received by
the same mighty, universal Parent, no doubt, dear Jane.'
Again I questioned, but this time only in thought. 'Where is that
region? Does it exist?' And I clasped my arms closer around Helen; she
seemed dearer to me than ever; I felt as if I could not let her go;
I lay with my face hidden on her neck. Presently she said, in the
sweetest tone-
'How comfortable I am! That last fit of coughing has tired me a
little; I feel as if I could sleep: but don't leave me, Jane; I like
to have you near me.' van vincent gogh night starry

This room was chill, because it seldom had a fire; it was silent,
because remote from the nursery and kitchen; solemn, because it was
known to be so seldom entered. The housemaid alone came here on
Saturdays, to wipe from the mirrors and the furniture a week's quiet
dust: and Mrs. Reed herself, at far intervals, visited it to review
the contents of a certain secret drawer in the wardrobe, where were
stored divers parchments, her jewel-casket, and a miniature of her
deceased husband; and in those last words lies the secret of the
red-room- the spell which kept it so lonely in spite of its grandeur.
Mr. Reed had been dead nine years: it was in this chamber he

The undertaker's men; and, since that day, a sense of dreary
consecration had guarded it from frequent intrusion.
My seat, to which Bessie and the bitter Miss Abbot had left me
riveted, was a low ottoman near the marble chimney-piece; the bed rose
before me; to my right hand there was the high, dark wardrobe, with
subdued, broken reflections varying the gloss of its panels; to my
left were the muffled windows; a great looking-glass between them
repeated the vacant majesty of the bed and room. I was not quite
sure whether they had locked the door; and when I dared move, I got up
and went to see. Alas! yes: no jail was ever more secure. Returning, I

  文丽只得回过头,冲着狗子点点头,说:跃进好。她瞅了狗子一眼,见他衣着干净,裤子甚至带裤缝,再回头看自己的俩女儿,燕妮一身灰,多多穿着件不合身的衣服,上面全是剩饭痕迹。文丽恼羞成怒,抱起多多,拉住燕妮的手抢先一步进了单元门。燕妮看懂了妈妈的脸色,怕了,老老实实跟着走。
  庄嫂成心紧跟在文丽的身后,热情地跟燕妮打招呼:妮儿,呆会儿去姨家吧,姨晚上烙鸡蛋饼!
  文丽狠狠瞪着燕妮。燕妮回头看一眼庄嫂,没敢说话。文丽因为生气,想甩掉身后的庄嫂,走得猛点儿,恨不得一步俩台阶。可她一手抱多多,一手牵燕妮,脚迈大了,绊一下差点摔倒。燕妮吓一跳,刚喊声妈妈!身后的庄嫂已经伸手稳稳扶住了文丽。文丽自己也吓一跳,回过味来,意识到身后庄嫂搀着自己,猛地甩开她的手。庄嫂收回手,脸色立刻冷冷的了。上得台阶,两人同时掏钥匙,开门,谁也不理谁。俩女人仿佛在比赛谁开门快,结果是越急越打不开。还是文丽抢先一步打开门,赶紧把孩子塞进门,跟着进门,门“咣”的一声关上。
  庄嫂跟着进了自家门,正要狠狠带门,却见门缝有点裂了,门关到一半,赶紧停住,却越发生气了。狗子一进门就跑。庄嫂暴喝一声:给我进屋写作业去!
  狗子登时老实下来,乖乖进了自己的屋。
  到了做饭的时间,燕妮趴在庄家门缝上,往里看,门里香味儿传出,燕妮馋得不行。
  文丽拉开门,一眼看见燕妮趴在庄家门缝上,大怒,上前要抓燕妮,庄家门却开了。庄嫂扎围裙端簸箕正要出门。燕妮冲着庄嫂甜甜一笑,喊了一声:姨!
  庄嫂先看见虎视眈眈的文丽,俩女人互相瞪着,但低头看见一脸笑容的燕妮,庄嫂立刻放下簸箕,手在围裙上蹭蹭,抱起燕妮,说:妮儿啊,到姨家玩儿啊。以后啊,下了学,饿了就到姨家,姨家可多好吃的了。
  庄嫂说着抱着燕妮就要往屋里走。文丽喝一声:燕妮!吓得燕妮一激灵,赶紧秃噜着下来回头跑回家了。
  佟志回来了,先进厨房,问:晚饭有肉吗?

  常发也同样在胳膊上一拉,血,一滴滴地滴入酒碗中.
 “少放猪屁,管好你自己吧!”常发恶狠狠地骂了一句,抓过酒碗一扫而尽,随手将酒碗扔出。“叭”的一声,酒碗碎出十几米远,散发着常发窝在心底的恶气。
