1 Hindley descended more leisurely, sobered and abashed.
2 Hindley and I held it a favourite spot twenty years before.
3 And then, Linton would be nothing, nor Hindley, nor all the dreams that ever I dreamt.
4 Hindley sat opposite, his head leant on his hand; perhaps meditating on the same subject.
5 Her affection tired very soon, however, and when she grew peevish, Hindley became tyrannical.
6 To my joy, he left us, after giving this judicious counsel, and Hindley stretched himself on the hearthstone.
7 Mr. Hindley had gone from home one afternoon, and Heathcliff presumed to give himself a holiday on the strength of it.
8 As I reached them, Hindley leant forward on the rails to listen to a noise below; almost forgetting what he had in his hands.
9 He delighted to witness Hindley degrading himself past redemption; and became daily more notable for savage sullenness and ferocity.
10 I was a child; my father was just buried, and my misery arose from the separation that Hindley had ordered between me and Heathcliff.
11 The house-door was ajar, too; light entered from its unclosed windows; Hindley had come out, and stood on the kitchen hearth, haggard and drowsy.

17 He went up the walk, and entered the house; but, instead of Hindley, Heathcliff appeared on the door-stones; and I turned directly and ran down the road as hard as ever I could race, making no halt till I gained the guide-post, and feeling as scared as if I had raised a goblin.
