Mrs. Earnshaw's thoughts were in a whirl, who needed time to adapt it, so she walked to the window alone. The cold wind blew against her face; as mind wandered with the wind, the picture of the stone-cold boy popped into his mind. Her eyes became red with a start, with tears in her eyes. And for the above his resasons, finally Mrs. Earnshaw calmed down and bent to his will. But the affair did not end there; Mr. Earnshaw family is a democratic one. Everyone has to vote. But the children did not think so much of it. Hindley and Cathy were standing by silently to look and listen till peace was restored.

And when she stared at the poor kid, so was she. Obviously, affirmative vote won. And Mr. Earnshaw told her to wash the kid, give him clean clothes, and let him sleep with their children. “What’s your name?” Mrs. Earnshaw said in her broken Romany.

Finally, the room brightened up; all the lights were burning, as if to welcome the boy. Though the thing was not normally difficult, But Mr. Earnshaw’s family never abandon hope, they always seek hope in the mist of despair, savor beauty in trivial matters and taste happiness in pain. Ultimately, they believed he boy's arrival will bring novel fun and overcame all suffering
