I’ve downloaded Thomas Baird, Wuthering Heights, Comprehensive Guide for AS and A Level, ZigZag Education, which would be quite worthwhile to have. Unfortunately, it’s an inspection copy with many deleted parts. That‘s the reason why I’ve been trying to restore the missing parts with something similar to the original text.
My suggestions / guesses (in square brackets) are grounded in the surrounding text and my good knowledge of the novel’s plot. I’d like you to check whether they are grammatical and idiomatic. Any improvement would be greatly appreciated.
Here’s the link:

For the sake of correctness, I have to say that I’ve already posted a thread about chapter 2 on WRF.
Chapter 3
Zillah ushers Lockwood to an unused bedroom and warns him to stay quiet. [0n the ledge over the] bed there are some old books and the names “Catherine Earnshaw”, “Catherine Heathcliff” and “Catherine Linton” are scribbled on the woodwork. There is also a journal in which Catherine [had drawn an] amusing sketch of Joseph and jotted down her plans with Heathcliff to rebel [against Hindley]. Lockwood falls asleep, and dreams of visiting a chapel with Joseph where he is [severely reprimanded by] Reverend Jabes Branderham, prior to the service descending into chaos. Lockwood [is awoken by the] rapping of a branch on the bedroom window. He then dreams of Catherine Linton [whom he perceives] through the window as she demands entry. Lockwood sees a young girl’s face [and scared to death pulls her] wrist on the broken windowpane. He wakes up screaming and rouses Heathcliff [who strikes his forehead with rage on] hearing about Lockwood's dream of Catherine. After banishing his guest [downstairs he opens] the casement window and [cries out to] Catherine to return. In the morning, [after witnessing a heated argument] among the household, Lockwood is partially assisted by Heathcliff on his return to Thrushcross Grange.
Thank you very much
