“
'On my second visit, Linton seemed in lively spirits; and Zillah (that is their housekeeper) made us a clean room and a good fire, and told us that, as Joseph was out at a prayer meeting and Hareton Earnshaw was off with his dogs—robbing our woods of pheasants, as I heard afterwards—we might do what we liked. She brought me some warm wine and gingerbread, and appeared exceedingly good-natured; and Linton sat in the armchair, and I in the little rocking-chair on the hearthstone, and we laughed and talked so merrily, and found so much to say: we planned where we would go, and what we would do in summer. I needn't repeat that, because you would call it silly. 去书内

    This passage offers a rare moment of warmth and innocence amid the novel’s darkness, as Cathy and Linton share a carefree afternoon of laughter and summer plans. Zillah’s kindness and the absence of Heathcliff and Joseph create a brief haven, allowing the pair to indulge in youthful optimism. Their playful disagreement over spending a summer day—Linton’s preference for the moors contrasts with Cathy’s likely more active vision—reveals their differing personalities, yet also their growing bond. The scene underscores the tragedy of their fates: this fleeting happiness is soon shattered by Heathcliff’s schemes, making their innocent joy a poignant counterpoint to the novel’s pervasive cruelty.
