1. ______'Oh, I will die, since no one cares anything about me. I wish I had not taken that.' Then a good while after I heard her murmur, 'No, I'll not die - he'd be glad - he does not love me at all - he would never miss me!'

2. ______To whom is Nelly referring when she says, ‘He's tolerably well, I think, though his studies occupy him rather more than they ought: he is continually among his books, since he has no other society.'

3. ______'I'd kill myself directly! These three awful nights I've never closed my lids - and oh, I've been tormented! I've been haunted, Nelly! But I begin to fancy you don't like me. How strange! I thought, though everybody hated and despised each other, they could not avoid loving me.’

4. ______To whom is Mrs. Linton referreing when she says, 'You are one of those things that are ever found when least wanted, and when you are wanted, never! I suppose we shall have plenty of lamentations now - I see we shall - but they can't keep me from my narrow home out yonder: my resting-place, where I'm bound before spring is over!’

5. ______To whom is Mrs. Linton referring when she says, ‘[You are] my hidden enemy. You witch! So you do seek elf-bolts to hurt us! Let me go, and I'll make her rue! I'll make her howl a recantation!'

6. ______(Fill in the blank) ‘For two months the fugitives remained absent; in those two months, Mrs. Linton encountered and conquered the worst shock of what was denominated a brain fever. No mother could have nursed an only child more devotedly than ______tended her.’

7. ______(Fill in the blank) ‘I should mention that Isabella sent to her brother, some six weeks from her departure, a short note, announcing her marriage with ______.’

8. ______‘How did you contrive to preserve the common sympathies of human nature when you resided here? I cannot recognise any sentiment which those around share with me.’

9. ______‘Is Mr. Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And if not, is he a devil? I sha'n't tell my reasons for making this inquiry; but I beseech you to explain, if you can, what I have married: that is, when you call to see me; and you must call, Ellen, very soon.’ 10. ______Who is the “little wretch” here: 'Hey, Throttler, lad!' whispered the little wretch, rousing a half- bred bull-dog from its lair in a corner. 'Now, wilt thou be ganging?' he asked authoritatively.’
