Edgar doesn't love me at all
Unfortunately she heard me.She jumped up,her hair loose and her eyes staring,and rushed to her bedroom.We heard the key turn in the lock.
For the next few days she refused to speak to anyone,even me.I took her food up to her room,but she would not eat.Mr Edgar spent his time in the library,and did not ask about his wife.He hoped,I suppose,that she would come and ask him to forgive her.But I knew she was too proud to do that.On the third day she unlocked her door and called me.She ate and drank eagerly,then lay down again.
‘Oh,why don't I die,since no one cares about me!'she muttered.‘Edgar doesn't love me at all!What is he doing all this time,Ellen?’‘He's reading Mbooks in the library,madam,’I answered.‘Reading books!'she cried,shocked.‘And I'm dying up here!My God!Does he know how I've changed,how ill I am?Can't you tell him I'm seriously ill,Ellen?’
‘You forget,Mrs Linton,that you've eaten tonight.I'm sure you'll feel better tomorrow morning.’I still wanted to make her realize how selfish she was being,although I was a little worried by her
health pale,almost ghostly face.
