he looked crossly up at me as he took my horse god help us a visitor he muttered to himself perhaps there were no other servants I thought and it seemed that mr. Heathcliff hardly 
ever received guests his house is called Wuthering Heights the name means a 
windswept house on a hill and it is a very good description the trees around the house do not grow straight but are bent by the north wind which blows over the Moors every day of the year fortunately. the house is strongly built and is not damaged even by the worst winter storms. the name Earnshaw is cut into a stone over the front door. 

Wuthering Heights _ Emily Bronte -1


mr. Heathcliff and I entered the huge main room it could have been any Yorkshire farmhouse kitchen except that there was no sign of cooking and no farmer sitting at the table mr. Heathcliff certainly does not look like a farmer his hair and skin are dark like a gypsies but he has the manners of a gentleman he could perhaps take more care with his appearance but he is handsome I think he is proud and also unhappy we sat down by the fire in silence Joseph shouted mr. Heathcliff no answer came from the cellar so he dived down there leaving me alone with several rather fierce looking dogs suddenly one of them jumped angrily up at me and in a moment all the others were attacking me from every shadowy corner in the great room appeared a growling animal ready to kill me.
