On the morning of a fine June day, my first pretty little baby, and the last of the ancient Earn Shaw family, was born. We were busy with the hay in a faraway field when the girl that usually brought our breakfasts, came running across the meadow and up the lane, calling me as she ran.
“Oh, such a grand baby!” she cried out. “The finest boy! But the doctor says missis must go: he says she’s been in a consumption(结核病) these many months. I heard him tell Mr. Hindley: she’ll be dead before winter. You must come home directly, Nelly. You’re to nurse it: to feed it with sugar and milk, and take care of it day and night. I wish I were you, because it will be all yours when there is no missis!”
“But is she very ill?’ I asked.
“I guess she is; yet she looks bravely,” replied the girl, “and she talks as if she thought of living to see it grow a man. She’s out of her head for joy. If I were her, I’m certain I should not die: Dame Archer brought the angel down to master, in the house, and his face just began to light up. Then the old fellow steps forward, and says he, ‘Earn Shaw, it’s a blessing your wife has been spared to leave you this son.’ When she came, I felt convinced we shouldn’t keep her long; and now, I must tell you, the winter will probably finish her. Don’t take on, and worried about it too much! It can’t be helped.”
“And what did the master answer?’ I inquired.
“I think he swore, but I didn’t mind him, I was straining to see the baby,” and she began again to describe it happily. I, as enthusiastic as herself, hurried eagerly home to admire, on my part, though I was very sad for Hindley’s sake. He had room in his heart only for two idols(偶像)--his wife and himself and I couldn’t imagine how he would bear the loss.
D. Delighted.
When we got to Wuthering Heights, there he stood at the front door; and, as I passed in, I asked, “How was the baby?’
“Nearly ready to run about! Nell.” he replied, smiling. “And the mistress?” I inquire, “The doctor says she’s….’
“Damn the doctor!” he interrupted, reddening. “Frances is quite right; she’ll be perfectly well by this time next week. Are you going upstairs? Will you tell her that I’ll come, if she’ll promise not to talk. I left her because she would not hold her tongue; and she must--tell her Mr. Kenneth says—she must be quiet.”
I delivered this message to Mrs. Earn Shaw; she seemed in high spirits, and replied merrily: “I hardly spoke a word, Ellen, and there he has gone out twice, crying. Well, say I promise I won’t speak: but that does not ensure me not to laugh at him!’
Poor soul! Till within a week of her death that gay heart never failed her, and her husband improved that her health improved every day. When Kenneth warned him that his medicines were useless at that stage of the disease, and he needn’t put him to further expense by attending her, But he retorted:
“I know you need not--she’s well--she does not want any more attendance from you! She never was in consumption. It was a fever; and it is gone: her pulse is as slow as mine now, and her cheek as cool.’
He told his wife the same story, and she seemed to believe him; but one night, while leaning on his shoulder and saying she thought she should be able to get up tomorrow, a fit of coughing took her—a very slight one. He raised her in his arms. She put her two hands about his neck, her face changed, and she was dead.

Have you heard of Amancio Ortega? He established Zara, a well-known international Spanish clothing brand, which makes his fortune reach over $65 billion. So what’s their secret? Do they operate like other popular clothing retailers（零售商）?
Most clothing brands operate using a top-down approach, where their designs are based what they predict will become popular in the next season. However, Zara constantly collects information about consumers. Its staff go onto the streets and in the malls of cities to see what people are wearing. Store managers take note on what customers’ tastes are like, which are reported back to headquarters that will then make their decisions. So the decisions are based on immediate feedback. This bottom up approach has allowed the brand to become popular worldwide and cater directly to what people want.
Their growth strategy(策略) and success has offered a few lessons. For example, Zara collects much consumer data from different places: streets, malls and customers. Not all of it will be useful, of course, but the data lets them know what people like and dislike, and how Zara can cater to their needs. Similarly, anything you’ll do will result in feedback. When you deliver a service, people’s responses and behavior provide useful information for improvement. It lets us know how we’re doing and whether adjustment is needed.
Zara studies consumers continuously to decide which direction its designs should take before starting the process. Getting goods as close as possible to current trends means sales will likely increase. Similarly, whenever you need to make a decision, you have to consider the information at hand. Before making big decisions, it’s best to learn more from different sources to reduce what you aren’t certain about. Moreover, sometimes our environment changes faster that our plans. So it’s also important to stay flexible and be willing to reassess the situation frequently.
