Hindley lifted her from her horse, exclaiming delightedly, ‘Why, Cathy, you are quite a beauty! I should scarcely have known you: you look like a lady now. Isabella Linton is not to be compared with her, is she, Frances?’ ‘Isabella has not her natural advantages,’ replied his wife: ‘but she must mind and not grow wild again here.

there at all times, indeed: one may guess the power of thenorth wind blowing over the edge, by the excessive slant of afew stunted firs at the end of the house; and by a range of gauntthorns all stretching their limbs one way, as if craving alms ofthe sun.

Before passing the threshold, I paused to admire a quantityof grotesque carving lavished over the front, and especiallyabout the principal door; above which, among a wilderness ofcrumbling griffins and shameless little boys, I detected the date‘1500,’ and the name ‘Hareton Earnshaw.’ I would have madea few comments, and requested a short history of the place from the surly owner; but his attitude at the door appeared todemand my speedy entrance, or complete departure, and I hadno desire to aggravate his impatience previous to inspectingthe penetralium.
