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

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.

LETTER, SAMUEL F. BILLINGTON & SON, SOLICITORS WHITBY, TO MESSRS. CARTER, PATERSON & CO., LONDON. 17 August "Dear Sirs,--Herewith please receive invoice of goods sent by Great Northern Railway. 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.
-
boxes, fifty in number, which form the consignment, in the partially ruined building forming part of the house and marked 'A'
-
The goods leave by the train at 9:30 tonight, and will be due at King's Cross at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon.
-
"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

He is a funny old man. He must be awfully old, for his face is gnarled and twisted like the bark of a tree.

I thought he would be a good person to learn interesting things from, so I asked him if he would mind telling me something about the whale fishing in the old days.
-
-I came up here an hour ago with Lucy, and we had a most interesting talk with my old friend and the two others who always come and join him. He is evidently the Sir Oracle of them
-
Lucy was looking sweetly pretty in her white lawn frock. She has got a beautiful colour since she has been here.
-
'Here lies the body' or 'Sacred to the memory' wrote on all of them, an' yet in nigh half of them there bean't no bodies at all,
-
-
she told me all over again about Arthur and their coming marriage. That made me just a little heart-sick, for I haven't heard from Jonathan for a whole month.
-
The same day. I came up here alone, for I am very sad. There was no letter for me. I hope there cannot be anything the matter with Jonathan. The clock has just struck nine.
-
The case of Renfield grows more interesting the more I get to understand the man. He has certain qualities very largely developed, selfishness, secrecy, and purpose.
-
he argued quietly that it was very good and very wholesome, that it was life, strong life, and gave life to him.
-
He has managed to get a sparrow, and has already partially tamed it. His means of taming is simple, for already the spiders have diminished
-
I could see a warning of danger in it, for there was a sudden fierce, sidelong look which meant killing.
-
took away his pocketbook to look at it. The thought that has been buzzing about my brain lately is complete, and the theory proved.
-
If I could have as strong a cause as my poor mad friend there, a good, unselfish cause to make me work,
-
only a line dated from Castle Dracula, and says that he is just starting for home. That is not like Jonathan. I do not understand it, and it makes me uneasy.
-
Mr. Holmwood, he is the Hon. Arthur Holmwood, only son of Lord Godalming, is coming up here very shortly
-
Lucy is more excitable than ever, but is otherwise well. Last night was very threatening, and the fishermen say that we are in for a storm. I must try to watch it and learn the weather signs.
-
I have been quite touched by the change in the poor old man. When he sat down beside me, he said in a very gentle way, "I want to say something to you, miss."
-
"I can't make her out," he said. "She's a Russian, by the look of her. But she's knocking about in the queerest way.
-
"There's something in that wind and in the hoast beyont that sounds, and looks, and tastes, and smells like death. It's in the air. I feel it comin'.

Will the FCC stay committed to rural America? The Hill Op-Ed By Former Senator Byron Dorgan Almost every month, a new telecommunications innovation is launched that has a profound impact on our lives. Lately we've seen the impact of these telecommunication changes in ways we never could have imagined. In past months we've witnessed the Egyptian government being toppled by citizens using their cell phones to organize mass rallies and send videos of shocking violence against the demonstrators around the world. And in just recent days we learned it was through sophisticated tracking of a cell phone that led our soldiers to Osama bin Laden's doorstep in Pakistan. In both cases, a broadband wireline network infrastructure transported these important communications and changed history. http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/technology/164691-will-the-fcc-stay-committed-to-rural-america
