#good luck on the scribbling and deciphering Bramward’s nonsense

[see-arcane]

CR! I am tearing my hair out trying to figure out when the Westenras return to their town house. On August 24 & 25 Lucy writes in her diary from Hampstead Heath. But on August 30, when she replies to Mina's letter, she's in Whitby and goes on about the strong air and that Arthur's visiting. Then the next day Arthur writes Seward with his concerns about Lucy and asks Seward to meet them for tea in Hampstead.

At first I thought this was a typographical error on project Gutenberg but I cross referenced with my printed Dracula.

I need help figuring this out, my family is dying...

Easy fix!

Care as little about the logistics as Stoker did. If he can’t even decide on her hair color, you can do whatever you want. But if you want a serious answer, you have options:

A) Write it off completely in Stoker fashion or,

B) Chalk it up to the Westenras both having some ailments to deal with and having the money and time to make another seaside visit for their health. The invitation to tea in Hampstead = they’re due to travel back soon. Rich people can amble around however/whenever, it’s cool

C) Do Not Mention Locations unless absolutely necessary. Vague the edges up and let the audience fill in the blanks
