Did y’all notice how defensive Dracula got today when Jonathan asked him about the buried treasure and the blue flames? Because to me it seemed pretty defensive:
“‘But how,’" said I, ‘can it have remained so long undiscovered, when there is a sure index to it if men will but take the trouble to look?’ The Count smiled, and as his lips ran back over his gums, the long, sharp, canine teeth showed out strangely; he answered:—
‘Because your peasant is at heart a coward and a fool! Those flames only appear on one night; and on that night no man of this land will, if he can help it, stir without his doors. And, dear sir, even if he did he would not know what to do. Why, even the peasant that you tell me of who marked the place of the flame would not know where to look in daylight even for his own work. Even you would not, I dare be sworn, be able to find these places again?’”
Like he even broke out the FANGS over this one. My theory? Bro’s got some buried treasure and he doesn’t like that Jonathan is probing about it.
Diving deeper into it though (because you know me), I think this also upset Dracula because this is the first real time Jonathan has questioned him or “pushed back” in a meaningful way. Jonathan is proving himself to be observant and quick-witted, two traits Dracula does NOT want in his prey. After all, why else would he lead Jon in circles and trance him into sleep (if that’s what we assume happened). Dracula likes his prey compliant.
Also, what was in that letter from Jon’s boss? Right, “He is discreet and silent”…I’m sure Dracula was hoping for this to be the case.
Just some food for thought!

"For a moment or two I could see nothing, as the shadow of a cloud obscured St. Mary’s Church and all around it. Then as the cloud passed I could see the ruins of the abbey coming into view; and as the edge of a narrow band of light as sharp as a sword-cut moved along, the church and the churchyard became gradually visible. Whatever my expectation was, it was not disappointed, for there, on our favourite seat, the silver light of the moon struck a half-reclining figure, snowy white."
Mina and Lucy in the kirkyard at Whitby, August 11th.

Guys, guys, look, guys, I know that Dracula is terrible. But I unironically want to start greeting people with his "Welcome to my house. Come freely. Go safely; and leave something of the happiness you bring!". I want to find a sign that says this and hang it on my front door. I need to incorporate this in my every day speech. I'm 65% of the way to making it my lock screen on my phone. I am actively adding it to my blog as we speak. This is by far my favorite line of the whole book. I just.
