Possible cursing of Hareton in "Wuthering heights"

In Emily Brontë's novel, the character of Hareton is always depicted as cursing for every possible reason (or none, for that matter lol), but hell! how am i supposed to know what his bad words are supposed to be in early 1900's UK???

Could be anything from a hard "fuck" to a mere "dammit" lol

Any scholar in English history that could help here?

"Criminetly!" mad

"Garbanzo Beans!!!" mad mad mad

"Jiminy Christmas!" sad

"Jesus, Beezus!!" neutral

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.
