Sam’s Reviews > Dracula > Status Update

This is the version I've read before. Yes, there are differences, but so far nothing too bad.

One day left. Back down to one bookmark.
Mina's un-dead 'sisters' came for her, but Van Helsing protected her with a circle of Blessed wafers.
With no horses left, he had to leave her and go on foot to deal with her sisters during the day.
Will see what happens tomorrow.

& 451.

For a brief moment I had caught myself up and was back down to one bookmark, alas, separated again.

The boat has been in an accident trying to sail upwards. Mina can no longer be hypnotised and has switched to being nocturnal, she isn't diarising at the moment either, luckily, Van Helsing is!

Approx 7 pages tomorrow and the rest on Wednesday! Presume all the action occurs then?

Same page(s). Just one, short, paragraph today.

With John and Morris today, they are concerned it may snow and they'll need to swap the horses for a Russian style sled. They've been told the launch (with Arthur and Jonathan) has gone up the Bistritza, and is still ahead of them.

Presume Van Helsing and Mina are still taking driving in turns and avoiding garlic soup.

& 444...
All three groups reported in. All still travelling, nearly there, not caught the Count's boat up yet.

Husband asked me "has the exciting stuff happened yet?"
No. Still. Finishes on Wednesday, very little left to go, must be soon.

Still on two bookmarks, so also on page 443. Seems to rejoin on Monday.
Just Jonathan and Mina's diaries today. All are travelling, no sign of the count on any boat the steamer passes. Locals don't like Mina's scar and keep adding lots of garlic to her food, she doesn't like garlic, so she's stopped taking her hat and veil off, but the horses are going well and they also make good progress.

I thought there was only a single paragraph today, luckily, I double checked and we're back up to two bookmarks.

Around 23 pages (sort of) to go, and six days, looks like 6th Nov has the biggest section.

Travelling has resumed and our party of six, is now three parties of two. One by boat, one on horseback, and one by train and then horse and carriage. It's bitterly cold and they have had to buy furs.

Still got another 4 pages to go today, however, I am also trying to finish watching Supernatural before it drops off streaming, and this quote from today's Dracula Daily reading made me laugh;
"Said Mr Morris: - 'I have brought some Winchesters; they are pretty handy in a crowd, and there may be wolves.' "

One paragraph.
Still no sign of the ship, reports of fog and the waves sound quieter in the hypnotic report.
