Emily Bronte Quotes
YESTERDAY Afternoon Set In Misty And Cold. I Had Half A Mind To Spend It By My Study Fire, Instead Of Wading Through Heath And Mud To Wuthering Heights. On Coming Up From Dinner, However, (N.B. - I Dine Between Twelve And One O'clock; The Housekeeper, A Matronly Lady, Taken As A Fixture Along With The House, Could Not, Or Would Not, Comprehend My Request That I Might Be Served At Five) - On Mounting The Stairs With This Lazy Intention, And Stepping Into The Room, I Saw A Servant-girl On Her Knees Surrounded By Brushes And Coal-scuttles, And Raising An Infernal Dust As She Extinguished The Flames With Heaps Of Cinders. This Spectacle Drove Me Back Immediately; I Took My Hat, And, After A Four-miles' Walk, Arrived At Heathcliff's Garden-gate Just In Time To Escape The First Feathery Flakes Of A Snow-shower.
