Not really plotholes but.... a couple of things which I've been mulling over and wouldn't mind hearing my learned friends' opinions on.
Firstly, on pages 126 and 127, Catherine Linton and Heathcliff (respectively) both say "here here!" in agreement to something that's spoken aloud.
Now whenever I write that I tend to spell it "hear hear!", since to my mynd it relates to something heard and not scene (if you see what you mean!)
Anyone else have an opinion on this? Has it been written that way intentionally and I'm missing a pun somewhere, or am I merely being pernickety? Or just plain wrong?
Similarly, there's two references (pages 247 and 273) to a bell being "tingled". Again, when I write this I tend to spell it "tinkled" not "tingled". Have I been wrong all my life or am I missing something here too?
