I have no earthly idea what Mrs. Nutmeg is staring at. Heathcliff's dad tunneled out of the bathroom, where he's apparently been holed up for the past year (or more). So...unless the rooms of the Nutmeg house rotate on a punchline to punchline basis, their bathroom is at the front of the house and the window is always open and the neighborhood can always see what's going on...which is just gross.
