A Gift of God

One fine summer morning-it was the beginning of harvest, I remember-Mr. Earnshaw came

down stairs, dressed for a journey; he turned to Hindley and Cathy, and me and spoke to his son, "Now, I'm going to Liverpool today. What shall I bring you? " Hindley named a fiddle (a kind of violin), and then he asked Cathy. She was hardly six years old, but she could ride any horse in the stable. She chose a whip(鞭子).He did not forget me; He promised to bring me a pocketful of apples and pears. Then he set off.

The three days of his absence seemed a long while to us all. Mrs. Earnshaw expected him by supper-time on the third evening. She put off the meal hour after hour. There were no signs of his coming, however. About eleven o'clock the door opened and in stepped the master. He threw

himself into a chair, laughing and groaning, and told them all to stand off, for he was nearly killed.

He would never again have another such walk for whatever reasons.

Opening his great coat, which he held bundled up in his arms, he said: "See here, wife. I was

never so beaten with anything in my life. But you must take it as a gift of God though it's as dark almost as if it came from the devil."

We crowded round him. And over Miss Cathy's head, I had a look at a dirty, ragged, black-haired child-big enough both to walk and talk-yet, when it was set on its feet, it only stared round, and repeated over and over again some strange words that nobody could understand. I was frightened,and Mrs. Earnshaw was ready to throw it out of doors. She did get angry, asking why he should have brought that gipsy child into the house when they had their own kids to feed and look after? What he meant to do with it?

The master tried to explain the matter though he was really half dead with tiredness. All that I could make out, among her scolding, was a story of his seeing it starving, and homeless, and almost dumb (哑的) in the streets of Liverpool where he picked it up and inquired for its owner. But not a person knew to whom it belonged. He said that as both his money and time was limited, he thought it better to take it
