At midnight, Catherine gives birth to a baby girl, which is named Catherine. Two hours later, the mother dies without ever being conscious enough to ask for anyone. Edgar sinks into a deep sorrow, and the baby is at first ignored. Nelly goes outside to find Heathcliff and tell him the terrible news, but he has already guessed it.
