I opened the wicket and ran to the door, knocking vehemently for admittance. A woman whom I knew, and who formerly lived at Gimmerton, answered: she had been servant there since the death of Mr. Earnshaw. 'Ah, said she, 'you are come a-seeking your little mistress! Don't be frightened. She's here safe: but I'm glad it isn't the master.
Then she comprehended that Earnshaw took the master's reputation home to himself; and was attached by ties stronger than reason could break chains, forged by habit, which it would be cruel to attempt to loosen.
The love of Catherine Earnshaw was all that he possessed. He knows that he has lost it through the degradation that he owes to Hindley Earnshaw.
Hindley Earnshaw is brutal to the foundling, Heathcliff, and degrades him. Heathcliff, when his hour comes, pays back his wrong with the interest due. He is brutal beyond brutality to Hindley Earnshaw, and he degrades Hareton, Hindley's son, as he himself was degraded; but he is not brutal to him.
Young Earnshaw was obviously épris with Stella, while Major Evelyn, a big, laughing brown man, attached himself to Eileen. Eileen, despite her dislike of the sound of a shot, she would clap her hands over her pretty ears, with their swinging hoops of turquoise, whenever a gun was fired, went out with the guns when they shot the last of the pheasants, she at least managed to accompany the lunch.
'It's not his tale: they tell that in the village about your being lost in the marsh; and I calls to Earnshaw, when I come in "Eh, they's queer things, Mr. Hareton, happened since I went off. It's a sad pity of that likely young lass, and cant Nelly Dean." He stared. I thought he had not heard aught, so I told him the rumour.
Much later, in a Yorkshire village, the spirit of romanticism bore a more really characteristic fruit in the work of a young girl, Emily Brontë, the romance of Wuthering Heights; the figures of Hareton Earnshaw, of Catherine Linton, and of Heathcliffe tearing open Catherine's grave, removing one side of her coffin, that he may really lie beside her in death figures so passionate, yet woven on a background of delicately beautiful, moorland scenery, being typical examples of that spirit.
Still it became in a manner necessary; twice, or thrice, Hindley's manifestation of scorn, while his father was near, roused the old man to a fury: he seized his stick to strike him, and shook with rage that he could not do it. Earnshaw agreed, though with a heavy spirit, for he said 'Hindley was nought, and would never thrive as where he wandered. I hoped heartily we should have peace now.
She had some reason to put the question, for shame and pride threw double gloom over his countenance, and kept him immovable. 'Shake hands, Heathcliff, said Mr. Earnshaw, condescendingly; 'once in a way, that is permitted. 'I shall not, replied the boy, finding his tongue at last; 'I shall not stand to be laughed at.
'Earnshaw accomplished this ere his guest reached the front; he then came and brought his chair to the other side of my table, leaning over it, and searching in my eyes for a sympathy with the burning hate that gleamed from his: as he both looked and felt like an assassin, he couldn't exactly find that; but he discovered enough to encourage him to speak.
