The
light flashed on his features as I spoke. Oh, Mr Lockwood, I cannot express what
a terrible start I got by the momentary view! Those deep black eyes! That smile,
and ghastly paleness! It appeared to me, not Mr Heathcliff, but a goblin; and,
in my terror, I let the candle bend towards the wall, and it left me in

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 dare not go in myself again just then.

immediately, with the supper tray in his other hand, explaining that Mr

him mount the stairs directly; he did not proceed to his ordinary chamber, but
