WUTHERING HEIGHTS

I have just returned from a visit to Mr. Heathcliff. He was standing by a gate as I arrived at Wuthering Heights early this afternoon. Mr. Heathcliff is a handsome man. But he looks like a gypsy. His eyes are dark and his hair is black. "Are you Mr. Heathcliff?" I asked. He nodded his head, but did not speak to me. "I'm Lockwood, your new tenant at Thrushcross Grange," I said politely, "I thought I should call on you." He leant on the gate and stared at me. At last he said, "Come in." Then he turned and walked away from me towards the house. --back cover.
