1 I believe I shall not live there any more.
2 My mother lived till eighty, a canty dame to the last.
3 They will live in the kitchen, and the rest will be shut up.
4 Mr. Heathcliff, meeting me one day in the village, inquired where she lived.
5 I said Mrs. Heathcliff lived above a dozen years after quitting her husband.
6 But Mr. Heathcliff forms a singular contrast to his abode and style of living.
7 They do live more in earnest, more in themselves, and less in surface, change, and frivolous external things.
8 The Jonah, in my mind, was Mr. Earnshaw; and I shook the handle of his den that I might ascertain if he were yet living.
9 A woman whom I knew, and who formerly lived at Gimmerton, answered: she had been servant there since the death of Mr. Earnshaw.
10 She did not know, she answered: she had only lived there a year or two; and they had so many queer goings on, she could not begin to be curious.

14 When I chanced to encounter the housekeeper of Wuthering Heights, in paying business visits to Gimmerton, I used to ask how the young master got on; for he lived almost as secluded as Catherine herself, and was never to be seen.
15 He bled her, and he told me to let her live on whey and water-gruel, and take care she did not throw herself downstairs or out of the window; and then he left: for he had enough to do in the parish, where two or three miles was the ordinary distance between cottage and cottage.
16 But Heathcliff affirms his principal reason for resuming a connection with his ancient persecutor is a wish to install himself in quarters at walking distance from the Grange, and an attachment to the house where we lived together; and likewise a hope that I shall have more opportunities of seeing him there than I could have if he settled in Gimmerton.
