days are over. The victories of my great race are but a tale to be told. l am the last of my kind. l have offended you with my ignorance. Forgive me. l long to go through the crowded streets of your mighty London. To be in the midst of the whirl and the rush of humanity. To share its life, its changes ... its death. There. You, Count ... ... are the owner of Carfax Abbey. Congratulations. Your firm writes most highly of your talents. They say you are a man of good ... taste. And that you are a worthy substitute to your predecessor, Mr. Renfield. You may rely on me. l'm curious. Why ten houses in such precise locations? ls it to raise the market value? Do you believe in destiny? That even the powers of time - - can be altered for a single purpose? The luckiest man on earth is the one who finds ... true love. You found Mina. l thought she was lost. We're to be married when l return. Are you married, Count? Sir, are you married? l was married once. Ages ago, it seems. She died. - I'm very sorry. - She was fortunate. My life, at its best, is misery. She will, no doubt, make a devoted wife ... ... and you a faithful husband. Come, write to your firm and any loved ones. Say that it should please you to stay with me for a month. A month? Do you wish me to stay so long? l will take no refusal. Diary. 30th May, 1897. Jonathan does not want me to stay with Lucy while he is away. lf l become accustomed to the privileges of the Weston family, - - he thinks l will not be content as the wife of a mere clerk. But Lucy and l are friends. She has never minded that l am only a schoolmistress. Disgusting! Mina ... Mina, you're always working. ls your ambitious John Harker forcing you to learn that machine? He could be forcing you into acts of passion on the parlour floor. Lucy! You shouldn't talk about my fiancй in such a way. There's more to marriage than carnal pleasures. So l see ... much, much more! What is it, Lucy? l don't understand it. Can man and woman really do ... that? - l did ... only last night. - Fibber! You did not. Yes, l did. Well, in my dreams. Jonathan measures up, doesn't he? You can tell Lucy. We've kissed, that's all. He thinks he's too poor to marry me. it's all the worse now that I'm visiting you ... my rich friend. Yes, but not one marriage proposal, and here l am almost 20 ... Practically a hag! Mr. Quincey P. Morris! Look! What is that? A Texan. Quincey P. Morris. He's so young and fresh. - A wild stallion between my legs. - You're positively indecent! l just know what men desire. Watch. - Quincey, darling. - Miss Lucy ... You're as fresh as a spring rain. Quincey, please let me touch it. it's so big. My dear, sweet little girl. l hold your hand, and you've kissed me. Jack! Oceans of love ... Oh, my poor little baby!
