“Oh, my dear, if you only knew how strange is the matter regarding which I am here, it is you who would laugh. I have learned not to think little of any one's belief, no matter how strange it may be.

I never thought at the time how strange it all was.”

“i am Dracula;and i bid you welcome,Mr. Harker,to my house.”

“Alone with the dead, I dare not go out!”
