There was a bright full moon, with heavy black, driving clouds, which threw the whole scene into a fleeting diorama of light and shade as they sailed across.

ruins of the abbey coming into view, and as the edge of a narrow band of light as sharp as a sword-cut moved along, the church and churchyard became gradually visible.
-
it seemed to me as though something dark stood behind the seat where the white figure shone, and bent over it.
-
flew down the steep steps to the pier and along by the fish-market to the bridge, which was the only way to reach the East Cliff. The town seemed as dead, for not a soul did I see.
-
I ran on to the entrance of the churchyard. As I entered, the church was between me and the seat, and for a minute or so I lost sight of her. When I came in view again the cloud had passed
-
she was breathing, not softly as usual with her, but in long, heavy gasps, as though striving to get her lungs full at every breath
-
-
brilliant moonlight, and the soft effect of the light over the sea and sky, merged together in one great silent mystery
-
The red sunlight was shining on the windows of St. Mary's Church behind our seat, and as the sun dipped there was just sufficient change in the refraction and reflection to make it appear as if the light moved

17 August.--No diary for two whole days. I have not had the heart to write. Some sort of shadowy pall seems to be coming over our happiness. No news from Jonathan, and Lucy seems to be growing weaker,
-
the tiny wounds seem not to have healed. They are still open, and, if anything, larger than before, and the edges of them are faintly white.

Same are to be delivered at Carfax, near Purfleet, immediately on receipt at goods station King's Cross. The house is at present empty, but enclosed please find keys, all of which are labelled.
-

-

"I didn't quite dream, but it all seemed to be real. I only wanted to be here in this spot. I don't know why, for I was afraid of something, I don't know what.
-
My soul seemed to go out from my body and float about the air. I seem to remember that once the West Lighthouse was right under me, and then there was a sort of agonizing feeling, as if I were in an earthquake, and I came back
-
I am to leave in the morning and go over to Jonathan, and to help to nurse him if necessary, and to bring him home.
-
"I write by desire of Mr. Jonathan Harker, who is himself not strong enough to write, though progressing well,
-
He wishes me to say that he has not sufficient money with him, and that he would like to pay for his staying here, so that others who need shall not be wanting for help.
-
He has told me all about you, and that you are shortly to be his wife. All blessings to you both! He has had some fearful shock
-
we knew nothing of his friends, and there was nothing on him, nothing that anyone could understand. He came in the train from Klausenburg, and the guard was told by the station master there that he rushed into the station shouting for a ticket for home. Seeing from his violent demeanour that he was English, they gave him a ticket for the furthest station on the way thither that the train reached.

For half an hour or more Renfield kept getting excited in greater and greater degree. I did not pretend to be watching him, but I kept strict observation all the same.

"The Bride maidens rejoice the eyes that wait the coming of the bride. But when the bride draweth nigh, then the maidens shine not to the eyes that are filled."
-
If I don't sleep at once, chloral, the modern Morpheus! I must be careful not to let it grow into a habit.
-
had lain tossing about, and had heard the clock strike only twice, when the night watchman came to me, sent up from the ward, to say that Renfield had escaped.
-
The attendant told me the patient had gone to the left, and had taken a straight line, so I ran as quickly as I could. As I got through the belt of trees I saw a white figure scale the high wall
-
I heard him say… "I am here to do your bidding, Master. I am your slave, and you will reward me, for I shall be faithful. I have worshipped you long and afar off. Now that you are near, I await your commands

When I described Lucy's symptoms, the same as before, but infinitely more marked, he looked very grave, but said nothing.

the narrow black velvet band which she seems always to wear round her throat, buckled with an old diamond buckle
-
There was no sign of disease, but the edges were white and worn looking, as if by some trituration. It at once occurred to me that that this wound, or whatever it was, might be the means of that manifest loss of blood.
-
"But, my dear girl, you may sleep tonight. I am here watching you, and I can promise that nothing will happen." "Ah, I can trust you!" she said.
-
All night long I watched by her. She never stirred, but slept on and on in a deep, tranquil, life-giving, health-giving sleep.

DR. SEWARD'S DIARY 10 September.--I was conscious of the Professor's hand on my head, and started awake all in a second. That is one of the things that we learn in an asylum, at any rate.
-
There on the bed, seemingly in a swoon, lay poor Lucy, more horribly white and wan-looking than ever.
-
how Lucy had made such a retrograde movement, and how she could have been drained of so much blood with no sign any where to show for it
-
"Now you go home, and eat much and drink enough. Make yourself strong. I stay here tonight, and I shall sit up with little miss myself.
-
In the hall two of the maids came to me, and asked if they or either of them might not sit up with Miss Lucy.
-
11 September.--This afternoon I went over to Hillingham. Found Van Helsing in excellent spirits, and Lucy much better.

"No trifling with me! I never jest! There is grim purpose in what I do, and I warn you that you do not thwart me.
-
-
you always have a reason for what you do, but this certainly puzzles me. It is well we have no sceptic here, or he would say that you were working some spell to keep out an evil spirit."

remembering my own confidence two nights before and with the baneful result, felt awe and vague terror
