Letter from Jonathan Harker to miss Mina Murray

5 May
My dearest Mina,

Forgive my long delay in writing, but I have been simply overwhelmed with work. I at last met with the Count today. Let me tell you about our first meeting, which was very peculiar indeed.

When I arrived at his castle, the old man came to me and ………………/1/ in excellent English, but with a strange intonation: ‘Welcome to my home’. He also ……………… /2/ that I ……………… /3/ freely and leave some of the happiness ……………… /4/

How strange! My dearest wish is to be happy for the rest of my life with you my sweetest darling.

Concerning dinner: He………………………………/5/ to eat and ………………/6/ Yet, he ……………… /7/ to excuse him for ……………… /8/


He ……………… /9/ that he ………………/10/ already ……………… /11/ dinner. He ………………/12/ something quite strange again concerning wine: He ………………/13/ never ………………/14/ wine.

And then he started to laugh in the most curious manner.

We were both silent for a while, and as I looked towards the window I saw the first dim streak of the coming dawn. There seemed a strange stillness over everything. But as I listened, I heard the howling of many wolves. I was so frightened that ……………… /15/: ‘What was that, Count?’


The Count’s eyes gleamed, and he ……………… /16/ that they ………………/17/ children …………/18/

I immediately ……………… /19/ that ………………/20/ wolves! But he did not seem to take any notice of my remark. He simply ………………/21/ something about my being an Englishman and therefore my incapacity to understand what was going on in Transylvania.

What a strange man, I am telling you, Mina. It seems that the castle is a veritable prison.

When he ………………/22/ me to write to my firm and say I ……………… /23/for a month I realized I was his prisoner!

So I ………………/24/ if he ………………/25/ to stay so long. And he only ………………/26/ that he ……………/27 no for an answer!

I wonder if we, I mean you and I, my sweetest love, shall ever see each other again.

Ever your loving,

Jonathand 'aide en anglais sil vous plait je suis nulle
