They sit up all night together continually, and Hindley has been borrowing money on his land, and does nothing but play and drink: I heard only a week ago it was Joseph who told me I met him at Gimmerton: "Nelly," he said, "we's hae a crowner's 'quest enow, at ahr folks'. One on 'em 's a'most getten his finger cut off wi' hauding t' other fro' stickin' hisseln loike a cawlf.
I've persuaded my conscience that it was a duty to warn him how people talked regarding his ways; and then I've recollected his confirmed bad habits, and, hopeless of benefiting him, have flinched from re-entering the dismal house, doubting if I could bear to be taken at my word. One time I passed the old gate, going out of my way, on a journey to Gimmerton.
"Pray step in! Have you walked from Gimmerton?" "No, from the Grange," I replied; "and while they make me a lodging room there I want to finish my business with your master." "What business, sir?" said Nelly. "About the rent," I answered. "Oh, then it is Catherine you must settle with, or rather me, as she has not learned to arrange her affairs yet." I looked surprised.

I had received no thanks for my other service; and being unwilling to run to and fro at his behest, I replied 'Nobody is out there but Joseph. 'I want to drink, he exclaimed fretfully, turning away. 'Zillah is constantly gadding off to Gimmerton since papa went: it's miserable! And I'm obliged to come down here they resolved never to hear me up-stairs.

'What does he want? asked Mrs. Linton. 'I did not question him, I answered. 'Well, close the curtains, Nelly, she said; 'and bring up tea.
At other times, she would turn petulantly away, and hide her face in her hands, or even push him off angrily; and then he took care to let her alone, for he was certain of doing no good.
