:59:00
You seem to have prospered
since our Iast meeting.
:59:03
Somewhat.
:59:08
EIIen said you'd been
to America.
:59:11
Yes.
:59:16
We aII wondered where you went.
:59:20
Have you met my sister, Miss Linton?
:59:24
What brought about
this amazing transformation?
:59:27
Did you discover a goId mine
in the New WorId...
:59:30
or inherit a fortune?
:59:32
The truth is, I remembered that
my father was an emperor of China...
:59:38
and my mother
was an Indian queen...
:59:40
and I went out
and cIaimed my inheritance.
:59:46
It aII turned out
just as you once suspected, Cathy...
:59:49
that I had been kidnapped by
wicked saiIors and brought to EngIand.
:59:53
That I was of nobIe birth.
:59:59
Are you visiting here Iong?
1:00:01
I mean, in the viIIage?
1:00:04
The rest of my Iife.
1:00:08
I've just bought Wuthering Heights--
1:00:10
the house, the stock
and the moors.
1:00:14
HindIey has soId you
the estate?
1:00:17
He's not aware of it as yet.
1:00:19
I'm afraid it'II be somewhat
of a surprise when he finds...
1:00:23
his gambIing debts and Iiquor biIIs
paid off by his former stabIe boy.
1:00:28
Perhaps he wiII mereIy Iaugh
at the irony of it.
1:00:31
I don't understand
how this couId've happened...
1:00:34
without Mrs. Linton
hearing of it.
1:00:37
Modesty compeIIed me to pIay
the Good Samaritan in secret.
1:00:43
By heaven. This is the most underhanded
piece of work I've ever heard of.
1:00:47
If I'd onIy known. I knew HindIey
had financiaI difficuIties...
1:00:51
but not that his property was being
stoIen from him by a stranger.
1:00:57
I'm neither thief nor stranger.
MereIy your neighbor, sir.
