Joseph,take Mr Lock wood's horse!’he called.‘And bring up some wine from the cellar!’Joseph was a very old servant,with a sour expression on his face.He looked crossly up at me as he took my horse.‘God help us!A visitor!’he muttered to himself.Perhaps there were no other servants,I thought.And it seemed that Mr Heathcliff hardly ever received guests.His house is called Wuthering Heights.The name means‘a windswept house on a hill’,and it is a very good description.The trees around the house do not grow straight,but are bent by the north wind,which blows over the moors every day of the year.Fortunately,the house is strongly built,and is not damaged even by the worst winter storms.The name‘Earn-shaw’is cut into a stone over the front door.
