And then he parted it, and I could see that there were thousands of rats, with their eyes blazing red,l ike his, only smaller. Then he held up his hand, and they all stopped, and I thought he seemed to be saying: Rats! Rats! Rats! Thousands! Millions of them! All red-blood! All these will I give you! If you will obey me!

Jonathan Harker: [suspiciously] May I ask with what object, sir?

Count Dracula: The posts are few, and uncertain. Writing now will ease the minds of Mister Hawkins and your fiancee.

Jonathan Harker: Count Dracula.

Count Dracula: Yes?

Jonathan Harker: I have been struck by a curious fact.

Count Dracula: Yes?

Jonathan Harker: I've not seen a single servant since I've been here. Yet my meals are served. My bed is made. Tell me, are we alone in the Castle?

Count Dracula: Alone? How could one be alone in this castle? In its most the past, the *living* past is present, surrounding us.

Jonathan Harker: That does *not* answer my question, sir. I've been here for three weeks and have not once stepped outside the Castle.

Count Dracula: I would gladly have shown you the countryside if you had expressed a wish to do so.

Jonathan Harker: When would we have gone? In the dead of night? I've never set eyes on you during the day.
