Quotation from: Wuthering Heights

Written by: Emily Bronte


'You have lived here a considerable time,' I commenced; 'did you
not say sixteen years?'


'Eighteen, sir: I came when the mistress was married, to wait on
her; after she died, the master retained me for his housekeeper.'


'Indeed.'


There ensued a pause. She was not a gossip, I feared; unless about
her own affairs, and those could hardly interest me. However,
having studied for an interval, with a fist on either knee, and a
cloud of meditation over her ruddy countenance, she ejaculated -
'Ah, times are greatly changed since then!'
