Catherine's Return

Catherine has finally returned from Thrushcross Grange. It was but five weeks ago that I last saw her. We were out playing, and eventually spying on the Linton children on the Grange, when their dog came out and seemed to attack Catherine! I do believe that dog's name was Skulker, as that is what they yelled as he got to Catherine in his game. Catherine told me to run away, but how could I leave her there being attacked by this mad bulldog? Then, when the servant saw what exactly was going on, he bid Skulker off and took Catherine inside of the house. I proceeded to follow them in the house when Linton asked what had happened. The servant told about how their dog had gotten a hold of Catherine, while the Linton children examined me. They decided that I ought to go in the cellar . That never did occur, though, and I was simply thrown out without Catherine. Now it is Christmas, and Catherine has returned. Her manners have improved quite a bit, and she is not the Cathy I remember. She now sees me as dirty, just like the rest of them! The Linton children, Edgar and Isabella, have come over once since her return. I don't understand what Cathy sees in them. I cant change my ways to become prim and proper because I will never be as good as Edgar Linton...or at least as good as Catherine makes him out to be. I cant stand why they make fun of me! Why, just the other night I threw applesauce at Edgar because of his comments on my appearance. Then, of course, Hindley sent me to my room, where I was ordered to stay. Eventually Catherine came up to talk to me. We soon went downstairs, and I went to the kitchen with Nelly. That is where I began to think of revenge towards Hindley. Our relationship will never change, and I don't intend to ever please him.
