92集 Is any one here?

hasty footsteps approached my chamberdoor; somebody pushed it open, with a vigorous hand, and a light glimmeredthrough the squares at the top of the bed. I sat shuddering yet, and wiping theperspiration from my forehead:

intruder /ɪnˈtruːdə(r)/  入侵者;闯入者

presence /ˈprezns/ 在场

panel /ˈpænl/ 嵌板

the intruder appeared to hesitate, andmuttered to himself. At last, he said in a half-whisper, plainly not expectingan answer, `Is any one here?’ I considered it best to confess my presence, forI knew Heathcliff’s accents, and feared he might search further, if I keptquiet. With this intention, I turned and opened the panels. I shall not soonforget the effect my action produced.
