Wuthering Heights
Notes
I felt sure I had read this before. But discussing this I realized I was conflating the story of Jane Eyre and maybe Agnes Gray? I am reading it now and honestly do not know what the plot holds for me.

Quotes
[ I do love a reference to the universal story: everybody thinks they are a Hidden Prince ] And now that we've done washing, and combing, and sulking—tell me whether you don't think yourself rather handsome? I'll tell you, I do. You're fit for a prince in disguise. Who knows, but your father was Emperor of China, and your mother an Indian queen, each of them able to buy up, with one week's income, Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange to-gether? And you were kidnapped by wicked sailors, and brought to England. Were I in your place, I would frame high notions of my birth, and the thoughts of what I was should give me courage and dignity to support the oppressions of a little farmer!Quoted on August 19, 2026
