25
his eyes blazed with a sort of demoniac
fury, and he suddenly made a grab at my throat
26
the castle
is a veritable prision, and i am a prisioner!
27
some longing and at the
same time some deadly fear
28
i could feel the soft,
shivering touch of the lips on the supersensitive skin of my throat, and the hard dens of the two sharp teeth, just touching and pausing there. i closed my eyes in a langurous ecstacy and waited
29
i believe we should have shocked the
new woman with out appetites. men are more tolerant, bless them!
30
she was ghastly, chakily pale
the red seemed to have gone from her lips and gums,
31
she will die for
sheer want of blood
32
she wants blood
and blood she must have or die
33
tell me and i shall do it
my life is hers, and i would give the last drop of blood in my body for her
34
a braves man's blood
is the best thing on this earth when a woman is in trouble god sends us men when we want them
35
said in a soft, voluptuous
voice, such as I has never heard from her lips- 'Arthur! oh, my love, I am so glad you have come! kiss me!
36
death had given back
part of her beauty
37
she makes a very beautiful
corpse, sir. it's quite a priviledge to attend to her
38
all lucy's loveliness had
come back to her in death
39
why mutilate her poor
body without need?
40
it seemed to be as much an affront
to the dead as it would have been to have stripped of her clothing in her sleep whilst living
41
she was more
radiantly beautiful than ever; and i could not believe that she was dead. the lips were red, nay redder than before, and on the cheeks was a delicate bloom
42
i too, have a duty to do
a duty to others, a duty to you, a duty to the dead, and , by god, i shall do it

women
46

47
on the bed beside the window
lay johnathan harker, his face flushed and breathing heavily as though in a stupor
48

the white aquiline nose opened wide and quivered at the edge; and the white sharp teeth, behind the full lips of the blood-dripping mouth, champed together like those of a wild beast
49
i turned to wake jonathan
but found that he slept so soundly
50
silence!
if you make a sound i shall take him and dash his brains out before your very eyes
51
seized my neck and pressed
my mouth to the wound, so that i must either suffocate or swallow some of the-
52
he was deathly pale
just like a waxen image, and the red eyes glared with the horrible vindictive look which i knew too well
53
think dear there have been
times when brave men have killed their wives and their womankind to keep them from falling into the hands of the enemy
54
conviction of my
helplessness
55
here i am
sitting at a little oak table where in old times some fair lady sat to pen, with much thought
56
only god can guide
us in the fog, which seems to move with us, and god seems to have deserted us
57
save
my soul theological frameworks of sin and salvation
58
the town seemed dead
for not a soul did i see
59
undoubtedly something long
and black, red eyes
60
obedience of
a child
61
she’s just a
child
62
said he thought
the transfusion of his blood had made her truly his bride
63
flesh of my
flesh; blood of my blood; kin of my kin; my bountiful wine-press for a while
64
of all the foul things
that lurk in this hateful place the count is the least dreadful to me; that to him alone i can look for safety
65
i suppose that we women
are such cowards that we think a man will save us from feats, and we marry him
66
her lips were parted
and she was breathing- not softly, as usual with her, but in long, heavy gasps, as though
67
she wants blood
and blood she must have or die
68
a great bundle of white flowers
i put him in your window, i make a pretty wreath, and hang him round your neck
69
we must obey
and silence is a part of obedience; and obedience is to bring you strong and well into loving arms that wait for you
70
the beautiful colour became livid
the eyes seemed to throw out sparks of hell-fire, the brows were wrinkled as though the folds of the flesh were the coils of medusa's snakes if looks could kill- we saw it at that moment
71
she seemed like a nightmare of lucy as she lay there
devilish mockery of lucy's sweet purity
72
it was my hand that sent her to the stars
it was the hand of him that loved her best; the hand that of all she would herself have chosen, had it been to her to choose
73
the Thing in the coffin writhed,
and a hideous, blood-curdling screech came from the opened red lips. the body shook nd quivered and twisted in wild contortions
74
his untrembling arm
rose and dell, driving deeper and deeper the mercy-bearing stake
75
unclean unclean
even the almighty shuns my polluted flesh! i must bear this mark of shame upon my forehead until the judgement day
76
we each held ready to use
our various arnaments- the spiritual in the left hand, the mortal in the right
77
there was something so panther-like
in the movement, something so unhuman
78
she was so fair to look on
so radiantly beautiful, so esquisitely voluptuous, that the very instinct of man in me, which calls some of my sec to love and to protect one of hers, made my head whirl with new emotion
79
but it was
butcher work
80
horrid screeching
as the stake drove home, the plunging of writhing form i can pity them now and weep
81
there were hairs
in the centre of the palm
82
the old centuries had
and have, powers of their own which mere modernity cannot kill
