Chapter I

1801.—I have just returned from a visit to my landlord—the solitary neighbour that I shall be troubled with. This is certainly a beautiful country! In all England, I do not believe that I could have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of society. A perfect misanthropist's Heaven—and Mr. Heathcliff and I are such a suitable pair to divide the desolation between us. A capital fellow! He little imagined how my heart warmed towards him when I beheld his black eyes withdraw so suspiciously under their brows, as I rode up, and when his fingers sheltered themselves, with a jealous resolution, still further in his waistcoat, as I announced my name.

"Mr. Heathcliff?" I said.

A nod was the answer.

"Mr. Lockwood, your new tenant, sir. I do myself the honour of calling as soon as possible after my arrival, to express the hope that I have not inconvenienced you by my perseverance in soliciting the occupation of Thrushcross Grange: I heard yesterday you had had some thoughts—"

"Thrushcross Grange is my own, sir," he interrupted, wincing. "I should not allow any one to inconvenience me, if I could hinder it—walk in!"

Two Catherines, two Heathcliffs, no confusion.

Wuthering Heights has two Catherines, two Heathcliffs, and houses full of Lintons and Earnshaws. In Chromatics, every speaker keeps one color from the first page to the last, so dialogue-heavy pages stop blurring together and you always know who just said that.

"If I were in heaven, Nelly, I should be extremely miserable."

"Because you are not fit to go there," I answered. "All sinners would be miserable in heaven."

"But it is not for that. I dreamt once that I was there."

"I tell you I won't hearken to your dreams, Miss Catherine! I'll go to bed," I interrupted again.

Chapter IX — Catherine in vermilion, Nelly in green. They hold those colors for the whole book.

An audiobook that reads along.

Curated LibriVox recordings, matched to the text. Ruth Golding reads Wuthering Heights; the highlight keeps pace with her voice, at whatever speed suits you. When your eyes drift, your ears hold the line — and the page shows you exactly where to land.

Wuthering Heights is the name of Mr. Heathcliff's dwelling. "Wuthering" being a significant provincial adjective, descriptive of the atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather.

Recordings from LibriVox, synchronized page by page.

Built for wandering minds.

A quiet banner keeps the scene in view: where you are, when it is, and who is telling the story to whom — even when Cathy tells Nelly, who tells Lockwood, who tells you. Three reading themes, OpenDyslexic among the typefaces, and your place kept on every page, across devices.

Real banners from the book. The deeper the story nests, the more the banner earns its keep.

Ready the moment you open them.
