Zillah, the servant, gives Mr. Lockwood a candle and ushers him to a bedroom rarely used. In the bedroom once settled, Mr. Lockwood observes inscription of the name Catherine, Linton and Heathcliff. He manages to see Cathy's diary. Cathy's journal written in several old books. The memoir narrates Cathy's childhood together with Heathcliff and how they used to play in the moors. The record shows the bad blood between Hindley and Heathcliff. Cathy records her dislike for the Bible lessons forced on them by Joseph.

Mr. Lockwood falls asleep only to experience nightmares. Joseph in the dream offers Mr. Lockwood a staff to use as a weapon in case of any eventuality. Mr. Lockwood finds himself in a church where the pastor Jabez is boring making Mr. Lockwood slip into occasional naps. In the second dream, Mr. Lockwood sees's cold hands catching on the window pleading, "let me in" the voice of Catherine Linton. Mr. Lockwood found himself lying down with books pushed to the window. With the petrified scream Heathcliff and Zillah, the servant comes to his rescue. Heathcliff was not happy the guest offered Cathy's bedroom; he vowed to discipline the servant. Heathcliff referred to Cathy as my ‘little friend' and ‘a wicked little soul.' Mr. Lockwood was surprised when Heathcliff opened the window and pleaded with Cathy’s spirit to come in.

The next morning Mr. Lockwood decided to leave without taking breakfast on his journey on the snow back to Thrushcross Grange, wet and exhausted.
