1801—I have just returned from a visit to mylandlord—the solitary neighbour that I shall be troubled with. This iscertainly a beautiful country! In all England, I do not believe that I couldhave fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of society. Aperfect misanthropist’s Heaven: and Mr. Heathcliff and I are such a suitablepair to divide the desolation between us. A capital fellow! He little imaginedhow my heart warmed towards him when I beheld his black eyes withdraw sosuspiciously under their brows, as I rode up, and when his fingers shelteredthemselves, with a jealous resolution, still further in his waistcoat, as Iannounced my name.
“Mr. Heathcliff? ” I said.
A nod was the answer.
“Mr. Lockwood, your new tenant, sir. I domyself the honour of calling as soon as possible after my arrival, to express thehope that I have not inconvenienced you by my perseverance in soliciting theoccupation of Thrushcross Grange; I heard yesterday you had had some thoughts—”
“Thrushcross Grange is my own, sir,” heinterrupted, wincing. “I should not allow anyone to inconvenience me, if Icould hinder it—walk in!”
The “walk in” was uttered with closed teeth,and expressed the sentiment, “Go to the Deuce”; even the gate over which heleant manifested no sympathizing movement to the words; and I think thatcircumstance determined me to accept the invitation; I felt interested in a manwho seemed more exaggeratedly reserved than myself.
When he saw my horse’s breast fairly pushingthe barrier, he did pull out his hand to unchain it, and then sullenly precededme up the causeway, calling, as we entered the court.
“Joseph, take Mr. Lockwood’s horse; and bringup some wine.”
