6. 'May she wake in torment!' he cried, with frightful
vehemence, stamping his foot, and groaning in a
sudden paroxysm of ungovernable passion. 'Why, she's
a liar to the end! Where is she? Not there - not in
heaven - not perished - where? Oh! you said you cared
nothing for my sufferings! And I pray one prayer - I
repeat it till my tongue stiffens - Catherine Earnshaw,
may you not rest as long as I am living; you said I killed
you - haunt me, then! The murdered DO haunt their
murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered
on earth. Be with me always - take any form - drive me
mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot
find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I can not live
without my life! I can not live without my soul!'

8. 'Nothing - only look at the almanac on that wall;' he
pointed to a framed sheet hanging near the window,
and continued, 'The crosses are for the evenings you
have spent with the Lintons’ , the dots for those spent
with me. Do you see? I've marked every day.'

10. 'Look!' she cried eagerly, 'that's my room with the candle in it,
and the trees swaying before it; and the other candle is in
Joseph's garret. Joseph sits up late, doesn't he? He's waiting till I
come home that he may lock the gate. Well, he'll wait a while
yet. It's a rough journey, and a sad heart to travel it; and we must
pass by Gimmerton Kirk to go that journey! We've braved its
ghosts often together, and dared each other to stand among the
graves and ask them to come. But, Heathcliff, if I dare you now,
will you venture? If you do, I'll keep you. I'll not lie there by
myself: they may bury me twelve feet deep, and throw the
church down over me, but I won't rest till you are with me. I
never will!' She paused, and resumed with a strange smile. 'He's
considering - he'd rather I'd come to him! Find a way, then! not
through that kirkyard. You are slow! Be content, you always
followed me!'

12. 'Oh, Cathy! Oh, my life! how can I bear it?' was the first
sentence he uttered, in a tone that did not seek to
disguise his despair. And now he stared at her so
earnestly that I thought the very intensity of his gaze
would bring tears into his eyes; but they burned with
anguish: they did not melt. 'What now?' said Catherine,
leaning back, and returning his look with a suddenly
clouded brow: her humour was a mere vane for
constantly varying caprices. 'You and Edgar have broken
my heart, Heathcliff! And you both come to bewail the
deed to me, as if you were the people to be pitied! I
shall not pity you, not I. You have killed me - and
thriven on it, I think. How strong you are! How many
years do you mean to live after I am gone?'

14. 'A little more than you have thought of me,' he
murmured. 'I heard of your marriage, Cathy, not long
since; and, while waiting in the yard below, I meditated
this plan - just to have one glimpse of your face, a stare
of surprise, perhaps, and pretended pleasure;
afterwards settle my score with Hindley; and then
prevent the law by doing execution on myself. Your
welcome has put these ideas out of my mind; but
beware of meeting me with another aspect next time!
Nay, you'll not drive me off again. You were really sorry
for me, were you? Well, there was cause. I've fought
through a bitter life since I last heard your voice; and
you must forgive me, for I struggled only for you!'
