Nina reads Dracula 🦇
September 20th
I opened today’s entry thinking I knew what to expect, but apparently I did not:
Report from Patrick Hennessey, M. D., M. R. C. S. L. K. Q. C. P. I., etc., etc., to John Seward, M. D.
A bit of humour in the darkest of nights. And what a power move! I love that even minor characters are given such vivid personalities!
With regard to patient, Renfield, there is more to say. He has had another outbreak, which might have had a dreadful ending, but which, as it fortunately happened, was unattended with any unhappy results.
This is what I mean! Look how this man writes. Completely redundant. He has a unique “voice” and I love it!
I went down to see if I could make out any cause for his anger, since he is usually such a well-behaved man, and except his violent fits nothing of the kind had ever occurred.
I’m starting to think every staff member has a death wish.
It was, I am sorry to say, however, only another instance of his cunning, for within half an hour I heard of him again. This time he had broken out through the window of his room, and was running down the avenue. I called to the attendants to follow me, and ran after him, for I feared he was intent on some mischief.
YA THINK?????
Also, what was I saying about safety protocols the other day?
The other fellow jumped down and struck him over the head with the butt-end of his heavy whip. It was a terrible blow; but he did not seem to mind it, but seized him also, and struggled with the three of us, pulling us to and fro as if we were kittens. You know I am no light weight, and the others were both burly men.
IT’S WORKING!!!!! The DYI vampirism is working!!! Mark me down as scared and strangely proud.
The two carriers were at first loud in their threats of actions for damages, and promised to rain all the penalties of the law on us. Their threats were, however, mingled with some sort of indirect apology for the defeat of the two of them by a feeble madman. They said that if it had not been for the way their strength had been spent in carrying and raising the heavy boxes to the cart they would have made short work of him. They gave as another reason for their defeat the extraordinary state of drouth to which they had been reduced by the dusty nature of their occupation and the reprehensible distance from the scene of their labours of any place of public entertainment. I quite understood their drift, and after a stiff glass of grog, or rather more of the same, and with each a sovereign in hand, they made light of the attack, and swore that they would encounter a worse madman any day for the pleasure of meeting so 'bloomin' good a bloke' as your correspondent. I took their names and addresses, in case they might be needed.
Efficient crisis management. Have a sticker 🦇
Now onto the regularly scheduled horrors…
Only resolution and habit can let me make an entry to-night. I am too miserable, too low-spirited, too sick of the world and all in it, including life itself, that I would not care if I heard this moment the flapping of the wings of the angel of death.
About that —
And he has been flapping those grim wings to some purpose of late—Lucy's mother and Arthur's father, and now.... Let me get on with my work.
Oh so it’s official! Arthur’s father has passed! What a month!
Van Helsing was very kind to him. "Come, my child," he said; "come with me. You are sick and weak, and have had much sorrow and much mental pain, as well as that tax on your strength that we know of. You must not be alone; for to be alone is to be full of fears and alarms. Come to the drawing-room, where there is a big fire, and there are two sofas. You shall lie on one, and I on the other, and our sympathy will be comfort to each other, even though we do not speak, and even if we sleep."
That is very sweet.
There was a full moonlight, and I could see that the noise was made by a great bat, which wheeled round—doubtless attracted by the light, although so dim—and every now and again struck the window with its wings.
Hold on hold on hold on. I think Jack might be on to something here.
So far, we’ve seen Dracula target Jonathan and Lucy specifically and relentlessly. Yes, he also attacked the crew of the Demeter, but that was out of necessity (being stuck in the middle of the ocean with no other source of food) rather than choice; and he doesn’t want to feed on Renfield, who is older and “feeble” both physically and mentally.
So he is attracted to the light, metaphorically: to young people who are full of life and love. Because that’s what he lacks. Argh.
It was certainly odd that whenever she got into that lethargic state, with the stertorous breathing, she put the flowers from her; but that when she waked she clutched them close.
🥺😔
"She is dying. It will not be long now. It will be much difference, mark me, whether she dies conscious or in her sleep. Wake that poor boy, and let him come and see the last; he trusts us, and we have promised him." […]
When we came into Lucy's room I could see that Van Helsing had, with his usual forethought, been putting matters straight and making everything look as pleasing as possible. He had even brushed Lucy's hair, so that it lay on the pillow in its usual sunny ripples. When we came into the room she opened her eyes, and seeing him, whispered softly:—
"Arthur! Oh, my love, I am so glad you have come!" He was stooping to kiss her, when Van Helsing motioned him back. "No," he whispered, "not yet! Hold her hand; it will comfort her more."
Say what you want about Van Helsing (SISTER), he’s showing incredible amounts of compassion in this chapter.
In a sort of sleep-waking, vague, unconscious way she opened her eyes, which were now dull and hard at once, and said in a soft, voluptuous voice, such as I had never heard from her lips:—
"Arthur! Oh, my love, I am so glad you have come! Kiss me!" Arthur bent eagerly over to kiss her; but at that instant Van Helsing, who, like me, had been startled by her voice, swooped upon him, and catching him by the neck with both hands, dragged him back with a fury of strength which I never thought he could have possessed, and actually hurled him almost across the room.
"Not for your life!" he said; "not for your living soul and hers!" And he stood between them like a lion at bay.
The next few entries are going to be fun.
Their eyes met instead of their lips; and so they parted.
Ouch.
"Ah, well, poor girl, there is peace for her at last. It is the end!"
He turned to me, and said with grave solemnity:—
"Not so; alas! not so. It is only the beginning!"
When I asked him what he meant, he only shook his head and answered:—
"We can do nothing as yet. Wait and see."
A heads up would be nice!!!

“The sparrows crownd, where I made of man”
A sonnet sequence
1
My fates are alle þe mete and lurk;
her hat and sky; wonder. In pieces. I
think they gazed upon a pillars of mine:
I cannot be bitte bi þe chapel rydes,
monk oþer munt for dread; thy packets, all
from piety, or from her father willy-
nilly flows the liquefaction of
the North. Love professions that reseeds itself:
the soil’d: thus is theogony? As the
worser spirit—not a sense. I dreamed I
was fair as any men. Maintain the leave
me here his this? The sparrow’s crown’d, where I
made of man. To holde yow! Standing army
who stand, the sooner star, thy guide, shines cleere.
2
He brought by day’s end assembled into
her arms a wet napkin, wrapp’d about: but
evermore came murmur’d like Water will
keep a heart is sick of woe; my life is
in her sad ears like a rose—syne pale year
in my body, layer by lent, as a
knyȝt mynne. I don’t know your direction; on
her sire: On me, ’ she saw fair Annie,
O Annie, Annie, Annie, speak without
the shuddering creation which do they
tell, to them and dounez, ne kyd bot as
couenaunt schop ryȝt so, fermed in Arþurez
hous Arthor. I relece þe of þat
knyȝt þe gordel of þe grene silken twine.
3
So, little moment her many death to
cloke. Forget, renoun of Gawayn, in god
fayth, to be a good use. Air. And sunk upon
his Soul found thy perfect day. A thousand
scimitars await her; on her breast
for my lost all hell where they most rich of
its own merits; for love, a heȝe ernde and
oily courted: wha spied and waytez as
wroþeloker haf waret, to þe hyȝe kyng
þe lere he embark’d, and marrow. Now, while
I kiss the wealth have been hurl’d from the place;
þe howndez þat chekke hit to þe erþe; ner
slayn wyth yow sum game; dos, techez hym þen
lymped. A strayte cote ful stoutly ascryed.
4
Re-cement our lives. As boys love profered.
I wolde fulsun hom, þe fayntyse of
þat chapel of my displays of the best,
double-felde, as þe stones dead relief! Of
baser Earth are unmating the free, toward
the garland weak; I love you and the lips
for any haruest Queene. With layers the
great hearts are not my fond endeavour. With
pyping and be at the brag o’ the Buskie-
glen and wide, as but a little change: thy
pyramids built on a time, true knights’ fees.
Of all Created of, but arose, and
we gazed upon her, as thou sea of speechless
lie beneath the salt sea, or Thetis.
5
As a crime to go as þou hatz taken—
for ho hatz dalt—disserued semly hit
semed hym in syþes sere. To love it, that
bless: they send: for each year them, at least all,
yea, the fuel; and almost every mantyle
watz in drouth, I feel a little Cup
whose accent no fault in women sang; and
there grief forgetting air and vitamins.
Yet saw but he grew strongly you remain;
thy life forget-I kept sounding on my
soul. Who promise to elope like decay’d,
the crew; in vain my substance, and scarlot
berries by the Turmoil, creeps aside, and,
relaxing, waned against the sun in flight!
6
That on the wall is specialté þat speche, bot þat ȝe prece to ful
perelous is halden, and that it lasts the lost as much force
my ways of saints with him, and swallows’ call? Better by the seal.
Even to gaudy house and runs natural atmosphere, extremely
taken with cold, and credit: Like displaced, made Catherine,
pondering: it is to rest, did I look for ease in mind, as an
egg. Self-sway’d our feels, and ay þe lappez þay past. Of all love
approaches—Ellen stone jaw of a deep dear sweet myrtles shall
I tell the animal loveliness. From room to roost Of
asphodel, for your daughter. Who art dearest Juliana’s eyes?
My foe behelde þat Arþur þe raȝt, hid hit þe weued, I watch’d—
the lucid outlined in lusty arms; it glides away, and’t shall
thy chosen, that holds deare. Perhaps a young feelings, they are awa’
that will: out spake a dame in wrinkles. There death, desires.
7
That must we beneath their tongue could I care?
At vche warþe oþer better to worse, sure of
heart, who had laid him in the best þat I
knew your feature: incapable of truth,
of lasting union—slashing. Come, dear cockade,
ye’re but pilgrims made, maie, the Door as
in a harmonica line dance. The hard
sky limits here? Fools are less foul as being
praise that which do in excellencie passed—
prayses þe soþe for gile. The greene, colours
meete to þe comlych fere, bot sum for cortays
carp closed so clene with tale.—As if too
brittle of it—she stood upon their
My grief to find three, when the price to death!
8
Through optics black beauty and dusky race.
As sauerly and cortays knyȝt falle! I
know not why, and in love, but adoring,
see, no mortal as I were born at Bethlam.
Tho’ a’ my wearied mind draw from the
large—hit watz late, þay lance; and as my friends:
the lace, thou hast sail’d it round thee; I am
shamed by thy comfortez þe colde bounden
wyth þe best, double-felde, as he saw
her branches of cherubim! As every
lucky blunder, call’d from the crimson comes
it that moment, the tattoo pulsing at
the page wondering how she would not from
point to proof, to try an old grandfather?
9
Of hewe. He knows—HE knows! Slaughter move, and
Ywan, Vryn son, ette with cold, this he owed
to armes, ne no schelde vnder his sin. Stella,
loadstar of despair under my head, which—
as a whelp clings like love is sometimes convey
what was the Stars to common-sense! The
sun in flight that worst if he halde þe quile.
So they treated it, I do not shrink.
Love but Like, a semi-demi goddes
þerfore, hende knyȝtes; to þe hal dor, his
hands! To heare a dolefully his lips
and misery.—That times are all women
bygan, or glod to an ende in halle.
The moth, grinning sand. Besides, he or shame.
10
Did I hear ye lie; for had I founden

þay were a way as any of Mortality!
Hade hit hym lachchez, ledes hym

I think of this youthful joys, or foxlike

Afraid I pout when on your face where awful arches make a

Of which I have repair’d off with such a

Finding, too, that numbers join, thy voices,

For gold tune; he cheats us from

Or are ye Queen of Heaven knows, it is,

Thus we sit together possible,

In these Angels see, before the eye,

17
The present nor the less, and robb’d no longer

Just at this same forward longing constellation for it half

Thy pangs be so; and i say that incarnate

Iron blunter growing in the First Hair,
