Chapter summary
Lockwood tells the story. Zillah leads him upstairs and tells him to hide the candle and keep quiet, because her master has an odd notion about the room and never lets anyone lodge there willingly. It holds an old oak bed built like a cupboard. On the window-ledge Lockwood finds old books and one name scratched many times, Catherine, with three different surnames. He reads some of Catherine Earnshaw's old diary, in which she and Heathcliff are punished by her brother Hindley and Joseph.
He then dreams of a very long sermon and wakes to a fir branch tapping at the window. In a second dream he reaches through the glass and an icy hand takes his. A voice says it has been lost on the moor for twenty years. Heathcliff hears his shout and hurries in. He draws back behind the bed as Lockwood tells the dream, then sends him out of the room, and Lockwood, in the passage, sees him open the window and sob for Cathy. At dawn Lockwood and Heathcliff cross the snowy moor, and Lockwood reaches the Grange at noon.
