Quotation from: Wuthering Heights

Written by: Emily Bronte

We always ate our meals with Mr. Heathcliff. I held the mistress's
post in making tea and carving; so I was indispensable at table.
Catherine usually sat by me, but to-day she stole nearer to
Hareton; and I presently saw she would have no more discretion in
her friendship than she had in her hostility.

'Now, mind you don't talk with and notice your cousin too much,'
were my whispered instructions as we entered the room. 'It will
certainly annoy Mr. Heathcliff, and he'll be mad at you both.'
