:) Just wanted to warn you about calling someone a fool. I noticed you studied Literature. Got a question for you. Off topic.

In Wuthering Heights when Catherine says, “I am Heathcliff!” was Emily Bronte saying she was Heathcliff and that is why Charlotte edited the story? I would love to read the original.

I notice, in all your biblical pomposity, that you did not castigate the person who was calling me an old, gray-haired woman and generally insulting me on my unknown appearance. I wonder why.

Wuthering Heights was published at the same time as Jane Eyre. I have no memory that Charlotte edited it. She did edit Emily’s poems but that didn’t occur until Emily was dead.
