1Heathcliff lifted his hand, and the speaker sprang to a safer distance, obviously acquainted with its weight. Having no
2desire to be entertained by a cat-and-dog combat, I stepped forward briskly, as if eager to partake the warmth of the
3hearth, and innocent of any knowledge of the interrupted dispute. Each had enough decorum to suspend further
4hostilities: Heathcliff placed his fists, out of temptation, in his pockets; Mrs. Heathcliff curled her lip, and walked
5to a seat far off, where she kept her word by playing the part of a statue during the remainder of my stay. That was not
6long. I declined joining their breakfast, and, at the first gleam of dawn, took an opportunity of escaping into the free
7air, now clear, and still, and cold as impalpable ice. My landlord halloed for me to stop ere I reached the bottom of
8the garden, and offered to accompany me across the moor. It was well he did, for the whole hill-back was one billowy,
9white ocean; the swells and falls not indicating corresponding rises and depressions in the ground: many pits, at least,
10were filled to a level; and entire ranges of mounds, the refuse of the quarries, blotted from the chart which my
11yesterday's walk left pictured in my mind. I had remarked on one side of the road, at intervals of six or seven yards, a
12line of upright stones, continued through the whole length of the barren: these were erected and daubed with lime on
13purpose to serve as guides in the dark, and also when a fall, like the present, confounded the deep swamps on either
14hand with the firmer path: but, excepting a dirty dot pointing up here and there, all traces of their existence had
15vanished: and my companion found it necessary to warn me frequently to steer to the right or left, when I imagined I was
16following, correctly, the windings of the road. We exchanged little conversation, and he halted at the entrance of
17Thrushcross Park, saying, I could make no error there. Our adieux were limited to a hasty bow, and then I pushed
18forward, trusting to my own resources; for the porter's lodge is untenanted as yet. The distance from the gate to the
19Grange is two miles; I believe I managed to make it four, what with losing myself among the trees, and sinking up to the
20neck in snow: a predicament which only those who have experienced it can appreciate. At any rate, whatever were my
21wanderings, the clock chimed twelve as I entered the house; and that gave exactly an hour for every mile of the usual
22way from Wuthering Heights. My human fixture and her satellites rushed to welcome me; exclaiming, tumultuously, they had
23completely given me up: everybody conjectured that I perished last night; and they were wondering how they must set
24about the search for my remains. I bid them be quiet, now that they saw me returned, and, benumbed to my very heart, I
25dragged upstairs; whence, after putting on dry clothes, and pacing to and fro thirty or forty minutes, to restore the
26animal heat, I adjourned to my study, feeble as a kitten: almost too much so to enjoy the cheerful fire and smoking
27coffee which the servant had prepared for my refreshment.
