1)	“He got on the bed, and wrenched open the lattice, bursting, as he pulled at it, into an uncontrollable passion of tears. 
	‘Come in! come in!’ he sobbed. ‘Cathy, do come. Oh, do--once more! Oh! my heart’s darling! hear me this time, Catherine, at last!’ 
	The spectre showed a spectre’s ordinary caprice: it gave no sign of being; but the snow and wind whirled wildly through, even reaching my station, and blowing out the light” (20).

2) 	“Hindley named a fiddle, and then he asked Miss Cathy; she was hardly six years old, but she could ride any horse in the stable, and she chose a whip” (25).

3)	“’Take my colt, Gypsy, then!’ said young Earnshaw. ‘And I pray that he may break your neck: take him and be damned you beggarly interloper! and wheedle my father out of all he has: only afterwards show him what you are imp of Satan.--And take that I hope he’ll kick out your brains!’” (28).

4) 	“She was much too fond of Heathcliff. The greatest punishment we could invent for her was to keep her separate from him: yet she got chided more than any of us on his account. 
	In play, she liked exceedingly to act the little mistress; using her hands freely, and commanding her companions: she did so to me, but I would not bear slapping and ordering; and so I let her know” (30).

5) 	“Both of us were able to look in by standing on the basement, and clinging to the ledge, and we saw--ah! it was beautiful--a splendid place carpeted with crimson, and crimson-covered chairs and tables, and a pure white ceiling bordered by gold, a shower of glass-drops hanging in silver chains from the center and shimmering with little soft tapers. Old Mr. and Mrs. Linton were not there; Edgar and his sisters had it entirely to themselves. Shouldn't they have been happy? We should have thought ourselves in heaven!” (34).
