Would it be taxing your remarkable hospitality if I sat down? |
HEATHCLIFF |
I hope my hospitality will be a lesson to you to make no more rash journeys
on these moors. As for staying here tonight,I don't keep accommodations
for visitors.You can share a bed with one of the servants. |
LOCKWOOD |
Thanks. I'll sleep in the chair, sir. |
HEATHCLIFF |
No,no. A stranger is a stranger. Guests are so rare in this house that
I hardly know how to receive them. I and my dog. Joseph, open up one of
the upstair's rooms. |
JOSEPH |
Here's a room for thee, sir.Bridal chamber. Nobody's slept here for years. |
LOCKWOOD |
It's a trifle depressing. Can you light a fire? |
JOSEPH |
No fire will burn in yonder grate. Chimney's all blocked up. |
LOCKWOOD |
Very well, thanks.Good night. |
