Draw your knitting out of your pocket--that will do--now continue the history of Mr.
Heathcliff, from where you left off, to the present day.

Did he finish his education on the Continent, and come back a gentleman?
or did he get a sizar's place at college, or escape to America, and earn honours by drawing blood from his foster-country?
or make a fortune more promptly on the English highways ?' 'He may have done a little in all these vocations, Mr.Lockwood; but I couldn't give my word for any.

I stated before that I didn't know how he gained his money; neither am I aware of the means he took to raise his mind from the savage ignorance into which it was sunk: but, with your leave, I'll proceed in my own fashion, if you think it will amuse and not weary you.

Are you feeling better this morning ?' 'Much.' 'That's good news.' * * * * * I got Miss Catherine and myself to Thrushcross Grange; and, to my agreeable disappointment, she behaved infinitely better than I dared to expect.

She seemed almost over-fond of Mr.Linton; and even to his sister she showed plenty of affection.
