She has come to ask Nelly for help, at an hour when she knows Edgar will be sleeping. Isabella says that a Heathcliff and Hindley are attacking each other. She says that Hindley tried to stay sober so that he could go to his sister's funeral, but couldn't bring himself to go and started drinking again. While Heathcliff was watching over Catherin's grave, Hindley locked him out of the house and told Isabella that he intended on shooting him. Isabella warned Heathcliff about the plan, and when Hindley aimed his pistol out of the window, Heathcliff grabbed and fired it back at Hindley, the knife attachment cutting his wrist. Heathcliff then forced his way inside and beat Hindley all over. The following morning, Isabella reminded Hindley of the previous night and he became enraged and began to fight Heathcliff anew. In the fury, Isabella managed to escape. Soon after her visit to Nelly, Isabella goes to London, where she gives birth to Heathcliff's son, Linton. She keeps up a correspondence with Nelly over the next 12 years until Isabella passes away too. Six months after Catherine's passing, Hindley goes too. Nelly returns to Wuthering Heights to see about the funeral arrangements and to bring Hareton back to Thrushcross Grange. She comes to find that Hindley was in a huge amount of Debt and that Heathcliff, has become the owner of The Heights. He does not allow Hareton to return with Nelly, and says that he will raise the boy himself. Hareton, who should be one of the finest gentlement in the area, is now forced to live as a common servant, friendless, and without hope.
