[Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte]@TWC D-Link bookWuthering Heights CHAPTER XIII 19/19
Mr.Heathcliff awoke me; he had just come in, and demanded, in his loving manner, what I was doing there? I told him the cause of my staying up so late--that he had the key of our room in his pocket.

He told me of Catherine's illness, and accused my brother of causing it promising that I should be Edgar's proxy in suffering, till he could get hold of him. I do hate him--I am wretched--I have been a fool! Beware of uttering one breath of this to any one at the Grange.
I shall expect you every day--don't disappoint me!--ISABELLA..
