They entirely refused to have it in bed with them, or even in their room, and i had no more sense, so, i put it on the landing of the stairs, hoping it would be gone on the morrow. by chance, or else attracted by hearing his voice, it crept to mr. earnshaw's door, and there he found it on quitting his chamber. inquiries were made as to how it got there; i was obliged to confess, and in recompense for my cowardice and inhumanity was sent out of the house.

The excerpt from Chapter IV of Wuthering Heights narrated by Mrs. Dean recalls the moment a little boy Heathcliff's arrival in the Earnshaw's household.  

Explanation:

Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" comprises the entries of Mr. Lockwood's written recollections about the stories as told by the housekeeper Nelly Dean. The character of Lockwood was staying as a tenant at Thrushcross Grange, a property owned by Heathcliff, also the owner of Wuthering Heights which makes up the main plot of the story.

The above provided excerpt is from Chapter IV of the story where the housekeeper of the "Grange", Mrs. Nelly Dean told Lockwood about the history of the landlord Heathcliff and the other 'strange' residents of "Wuthering Heights". The particular passage tells the story of how an orphaned Heathcliff came to be part of the family. Mrs. Dean recalls the exact night when Heathcliff was brought home by Mr. Earnshaw from his trip. Nelly had been a young girl, a helper but also treated as one of the children. She tells how the young Catherine and Hindley had hated their father bringing another children in the household. They even refused to let him sleep with them, ignoring their father's advice. Nelly, as she was the servant, was left to deal with the new human. So, not knowing what or how to deal with it, she left it on the stairs hoping it will be gone by the morning. But the small boy had gone to Mr. Earnshaw's room, leading to Nelly's short exile from the house. This narrates the first experience of having "Heathcliff" in the house.
