- Of course. Why? Now, isn't that a silly question?

- Because he's handsome and pleasant to be with.

- Not enough.

- Well, then, because he'll be rich someday! And I'll be the finest lady in the county.

- Oh, Ellen, it would be heaven to escape from here.

- What about Heathcliff?

- You know he gets worse every day.

- It would degrade me to marry him. I wish he'd never come back.

- And so you see, I suppose I've really no more business marrying Edgar Linton than I'd have in heaven. But, oh, what can I do?
