Quotation from: Wuthering Heights

Written by: Emily Bronte


'Yes, close it,' he replied, in his familiar voice. 'There, that
is pure awkwardness! Why did you hold the candle horizontally? Be
quick, and bring another.'


I hurried out in a foolish state of dread, and said to Joseph -
'The master wishes you to take him a light and rekindle the fire.'
For I dared not go in myself again just then.


Joseph rattled some fire into the shovel, and went: but he brought
it back immediately, with the supper-tray in his other hand,
explaining that Mr. Heathcliff was going to bed, and he wanted
nothing to eat till morning. We heard him mount the stairs
directly; he did not proceed to his ordinary chamber, but turned
into that with the panelled bed: its window, as I mentioned
before, is wide enough for anybody to get through; and it struck me
that he plotted another midnight excursion, of which he had rather
we had no suspicion.
