Jonathan Harker's Journal.
24 October.—A whole week of waiting. Daily telegrams to Godalming, but only the same story: "Not yet reported." Mina's morning and evening hypnotic answer is unvaried: lapping waves, rushing water, and creaking masts.
Telegram, October 24th.
Rufus Smith, Lloyd's, London, to Lord Godalming, care of H. B. M. Vice-Consul, Varna.
"Czarina Catherine reported this morning from Dardanelles."
Also! Quick public service announcement from Matt here: if you’ve thought about getting the Dracula Daily book - it’s on a big sale currently at amazon (like ten bucks off last I checked) and you can probably get it before Halloween. Otherwise there’s a slight discount on bookshop.org and you can support your local bookstore.
I’m going to hand them out to trick-or-treaters. Kids like books, right?
