  1. Emily Brontë _ Wuthering Heights

  2. Emily Brontë _ Wuthering Heights

You may look incredulous, if you please! I never would have banished him from her society as long as she desired his. The moment her regard ceased, I would have torn his heart out and drank his blood! But, till then - if you don't believe me, you don't know me - til then, I would have died by inches before I touched a single hair on his head!
