Lockwood notices that someone has scratched the name "Catherine Earnshaw, Catherine Linton, and Catherine Heathcliff" into the paint on the ledge of the bed. He also finds a diary, dated some 25 years ago written in the margins of several books. The Diary seems to have belonged to Catherine Earnshaw, and Lockwood reads about a day at Wuthering Heights soon after her father died, on which her older brother Hindley forced her and Heathcliff to listen to Joseph give a sermon. Catherine and Heathcliff, it seems, were very close, and Hindley seems to have Hated Heathcliff. Lockwood falls asleep and has a pair of nightmares. He awakes from the second when a cone from a branch begins tapping on his window. Still half asleep he tried to break the branch by forcing his hand through the glass of the window, but his hand is grabbed by a phantom one. A voice sobbing the name Catherine Linton asks to be let it. Linton, scared out of his wits, rakes the ghostly hands through the broken glass and tries to barricade the window with books. The books fall however, causing Lockwood to scream, rousing Heathcliff, who charges into the room. Lockwood leaves the room, but hears Heathcliff call out to Catherine, asking her to come home. Heathcliff, once the sun has risen, escorts Lockwood back to the threshold of Thrushcross Grange, where Lockwood retreats to his room to be alone.
