Count Dracula has had time to gain wealth and acquire such lavish furnishings.

I envy that library collection.

Ah yes, the English language. It's quite difficult to learn and understand. Even someone that is fluent can have issues, especially when it comes to writing in English! Lots of words and grammar rules, multiple dialects, words that are spelled exactly the same way yet pronounced differently with different meanings…. It's enough to drive one mad!

"You may go anywhere you wish in the castle, except where the doors are locked."

Is Dracula also Bluebeard?

The Carfax estate sounds more like a palace!

Vampires and their lack of reflection. :-)

Well, that was quite rude, Drac. For all you know that pocket mirror could've been a gift or something.

Or the Count likes dining alone…. 😉😉🧛‍♂️😅

Harker just realized that he's not actually a guest, but a prisoner!

Dracula Chapter 3

Well, at least the Count's being a fairly kind ho- I mean jailer!

Ah yes, a crucifix, garlic, mountain ash, and wild rose; all great things to have when facing your traditional vampyre!

In his speaking of things and people, and especially of battles, he spoke as if he had been present at them all.

Probably because he was, Jon-boy!

Honfoglalas?

Oh…. The conquest of the Carpathian Basin, aka the Pannonian Basin by the Hungarians, which is still part of modern-day Hungary.

I am now calling what is today the country of Turkey, Turkeyland…. Unless it is offensive in someway.

I'm amazed that Harker was able to remember that speech from Drac!

Oh hey, literary references! (Arabian Nights and the play Hamlet.)

I'm hoping that you're hiding your journal, Jon-boy, otherwise you're screwed. Not real smart to write down your plans or things that may or may not help you later on.

No, no. By all means let's not mislead our captor on legal matters!
Mislead him, you daft idiot!

I'm wondering if "Mr. Peter Hawkins" is somehow a thrall of Dracula's.

This is reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast in some ways.

So if one letter is for Mr. Hawkins, and another one is for Mina, who is the third letter for?

Bro, keep the crucifix on your person at all times!

Humans were built to be diurnal beings, so living a nocturnal life can be detrimental to both physical and mental health.
