Quotation from: Wuthering Heights

Written by: Emily Bronte


'"Isabella, let me in, or I'll make you repent!" he "girned," as
Joseph calls it.


'"I cannot commit murder," I replied. "Mr. Hindley stands sentinel
with a knife and loaded pistol."


'"Let me in by the kitchen door," he said.


'"Hindley will be there before me," I answered: "and that's a poor
love of yours that cannot bear a shower of snow! We were left at
peace in our beds as long as the summer moon shone, but the moment
a blast of winter returns, you must run for shelter! Heathcliff,
if I were you, I'd go stretch myself over her grave and die like a
faithful dog. The world is surely not worth living in now, is it?
You had distinctly impressed on me the idea that Catherine was the
whole joy of your life: I can't imagine how you think of surviving
her loss."
