Could it be that when Heathcliff disappeared from Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights in pain after overhearing Catherine’s marriage plans that he went to 21st-century New York City, where 17-year-old Flannery Fields would enlist him to help find her stray English teacher?

— Michael Main

Here she was dancing at O’Kelleys while Miss Sweeney wandered the city in despair; here she was marveling at literary time travel as a true possibility, though literary time travel sounded so goofy and grandiose that it shamed her further.
