Read the following excerpt from chapter 6 of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights
She was not one that would have disturbed the house much on her own account. Every object she saw, the moment she crossed
the threshold, appeared to delight her, and every circumstance that took place about herexcept the preparing for the burial, and
the presence of the mourners. I thought she was half silly, from her behaviour while that went on: she ran into her chamber, and
made me come with her, though I should have been dressing the children: and there she sat shivering and clasping her hands.
and asking repeatedly-"Are they gone yet?' Then she began describing with hysterical emotion the effect it produced on her to
see black; and started, and trembled, and, at last, fell a-weeping-and when I asked what was the matter, answered, she didn't
know; but she felt so afraid of dying! I imagined her as little likely to die as myself. She was rather thin, but young, and fresh-
complexioned, and her eyes sparkled as bright as diamonds. I did remark, to be sure that mounting the stairs made her breathe
very quick; that the least sudden noise set her in a quiver, and that she coughed troublesomely sometimes: but I knew nothing
of what these symptoms portended, and had no impulse to sympathise[with her. We don't in general take to foreigners here, Mr.
Lockwood, unless they take to us first.
