"Mools" is a problem. Yes, I always figured "it was late in the night, and the babies cried, the mother (I think) beneath the 'mools' (moors, earth, mound, maybe?) heard that..." I'm just waiting to find out what happens next. Does the dead mother come to comfort her bairnies? Does she sing them a lullaby from the grave? Maybe I'll join Emily and just fill in the blanks myself...Emily and her sisters apparently absorbed a lot of stories/folklore/possibly ballads from their Irish-born father, their Cornish aunt, and Haworth locals. I've always felt that "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights" had more to do with traditional "fairy tale" themes than "Enlish Literature."
