    Sometimes when Nelly says or does the "perfectly right thing", I like to imagine what dumb ass shit she actually did in the moment.

    She's had 20 years to make herself look better as the narrator. I just KNOW her "beginning to grow awkward" watching Cathy and Heathcliff was SO much more awkward as it occurred.

    I don't think high-school-me gave Bronte enough credit for her ability to craft unique character voices.

    Because good heavens am I having to drag my patience to hell and back to get through Lockwood's sections, but Nelly's are a breeze.

    Go get lost in the moors, Lockwood.
