Van Helsing: ‘Ah, then you have a good memory for facts, for details? It is not always so with young ladies.’ ‘No, doctor, I wrote it all down at the time. I can show it to you if you like.’ [219] [Van Helsing:] I who am old, and who have studied all my life men and women; I, who have made my speciality the brain and all that belongs to him and all that follow him …Oh, Madam Mina, good woman tell all their lives, and by day and by hour and by minute, such things as angels can read [...] [221] but that there are good women still left to make life happy - good women, whose lives and truths may make good lessons for the children that are to be.’ [222] phsyiognomist [226] She is one of God’s women fashioned by His own hand to show us men and other women that there is a heaven where we can enter, and that its light can be here on earth. So sweet, so noble, so little an egotist - and that, let me tell you, is much in this age, so sceptical and selfish. [226]

Van Helsing: ‘You are clever man, friend John; you reason well, and your wit is bold; but you are too prejudiced. You do not let your eyes see nor your ears hear, and that which is outside your daily life is not of account to you. Do you not think that there are things which you cannot understand, and yet which are; that some people see things that others cannot? But there are things old and new which must not be contemplate by men’s eyes, because they know - or think they know - some things which other men have told them. Ah, it is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all; and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain. [231]

[...] the sperm [of candle wax] drooped in whites patches which congealed as they touched the metal [...] made assurance of Lucy’s coffin [...] took out a turnscrew [236] ‘It made me shudder to thing of so mutilating the body of the woman whom I had loved.’ [241] ‘… we four who gave our strength to Miss Lucy it also is all to him.’ [244] [Arthur:] ‘as far as my honour as a gentleman or my faith as a Christian is concerned, I cannot make such a promise’ [viz., open Lucy’s coffin, &c.; 246] ‘Undead!’ [247]

Van Helsing: ‘if my death can do her good [...] when she is the dead Undead, she shall have it freely’ [248] The Host [252] Lucy’s eyes unclean and full of hell-fire, instead of the pure, gentle orbs we knew [253] Medusa [254] a nightmare of Lucy [256] devilish mockery of Lucy’s sweet purity [256] nosferatu, as they call it in Eastern Europe [257] Arthur placed the point over her heart [...] white flesh [258] high duty [in his face 259] feet on the ploughshare [261] phonograph [263] I have copied out the words on my typewriter [266] Strange that it never struck me that the very next house might be the Count’s hiding place! [169] [...] that way madness lies! [269] To use an Americanism [...] ‘taken no chances’ [271] true grit [273] I suppose there is something in woman’s nature that makes a man free to break down before her and express his feelings on the tender or emotional side without feeling it derogatory to his manhood [275] too true a gentleman [275]

Mina Murray: ‘We women have something of the mother in us that makes us rise above small matters when the mother-spirit is invoked; I felt this big, sorrowing man’s head resting on me, as though it were that of the baby that some day may lie on my bosom, and I stroked his hair as though he were my own child. I never thought at the time how strange it was.’ [275]

No one but a woman can help a man when he is in trouble of the heart [276] the Scriptural phrase, “For the blood is the life” [280]

Ah, that wonderful Madam Mina! She has man’s brain - a brain that a man should have were he much gifted - and woman’s heart [281] And, besides, she is a young woman and not so long married; there may be other things to think of some time, if not now. [viz., pregnancy and childbirth; 281] a sort of board or committee [282]
