Another week over – and I am so many days nearer health, and spring! I have now heard all my neighbour’s history, at different sittings, as the housekeeper could spare time from more important occupations. I’ll continue it in her own words, only a little condensed. She is, on the whole a very fair narrator and I don’t think I could improve her style.

In the evening, she said, the evening of my visit to the Heights, I know, as well as if I saw him, that Mr Heathcliff was about the place; and I shunned going out because I still carried his letter in my pocket, and didn’t want to be threathened, or teased anymore.
