purple tarafından eklenen kelimelerkelime eklememiş purple tarafından eklenen cümleler- (sweep) In the old days there were stirring times, when the Austrian and the Hungarian came up in hordes, and the patriots went out to meet them, men and women, the aged and the children too, and waited their coming on the rocks above the passes, that they might sweep destruction on them with their artificial avalanches. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:51)
- (meal) Some time after I had finished my meal, I do not know whether to call it breakfast or dinner, for it was between five and six o'clock when I had it, I looked about for something to read, for I did not like to go about the castle until I had asked the Count's permission. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:51)
- (excellent) The curtains and upholstery of the chairs and sofas and the hangings of my bed are of the costliest and most beautiful fabrics, and must have been of fabulous value when they were made, for they are centuries old, though in excellent order. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:51)
- (sharp) 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. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:51)
- (shade) I love the shade and the shadow, and would be alone with my thoughts when I may. Somehow his words and his look did not seem to accord, or else it was that his cast of face made his smile look malignant and saturnine. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:51)
- (conceivable) After supper I smoked, as on the last evening, and the Count stayed with me, chatting and asking questions on every conceivable subject, hour after hour. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:49)
- (notice) I went into my room and drew the curtains, but there was little to notice. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:49)
- (imagination) It will help me to bear up, and imagination must not run riot with me. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:49)
- (soul) I have only the Count to speak with, and he--I fear I am myself the only living soul within the place. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:49)
- (notice) In starting I had cut myself slightly, but did not notice it at the moment. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:49)
- (trap) When I look back after a few hours I think I must have been mad for the time, for I behaved much as a rat does in a trap. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:48)
- (conviction) When, however, the conviction had come to me that I was helpless I sat down quietly, as quietly as I have ever done anything in my life, and began to think over what was best to be done. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:48)
- (plural) Whenever he spoke of his house he always said we, and spoke almost in the plural, like a king speaking. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:48)
- (pride) This he afterwards explained by saying that to a Boyar the pride of his house and name is his own pride, that their glory is his glory, that their fate is his fate. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:48)
- (present) In his speaking of things and people, and especially of battles, he spoke as if he had been present at them all. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:48)
- (subject) I asked him a few questions on Transylvania history, and he warmed up to the subject wonderfully. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:48)
- (talk) Midnight.--I have had a long talk with the Count. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:48)
- (suspicion) I must be very careful, however, not to awake his suspicion. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:48)
- (conversation) Tonight he may talk of himself, if I turn the conversation that way. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:48)
- (meantime) In the meantime I must find out all I can about Count Dracula, as it may help me to understand. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:47)
- (tangible) Is it that there is something in the essence of the thing itself, or that it is a medium, a tangible help, in conveying memories of sympathy and comfort? Some time, if it may be, I must examine this matter and try to make up my mind about it. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:47)
- (disfavour) It is odd that a thing which I have been taught to regard with disfavour and as idolatrous should in a time of loneliness and trouble be of help. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:47)
- (whenever) Bless that good, good woman who hung the crucifix round my neck! For it is a comfort and a strength to me whenever I touch it. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:47)
- (terrible) This is a terrible thought, for if so, what does it mean that he could control the wolves, as he did, by only holding up his hand for silence? How was it that all the people at Bistritz and on the coach had some terrible fear for me? What meant the giving of the crucifix, of the garlic, of the wild rose, of the mountain ash? (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:47)
- (menial) For if he does himself all these menial offices, surely it is proof that there is no one else in the castle, it must have been the Count himself who was the driver of the coach that brought me here. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:47)
- (assured) When later I saw him through the chink of the hinges of the door laying the table in the dining room, I was assured of it. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:47)
- (thought) This was odd, but only confirmed what I had all along thought, that there are no servants in the house. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:47)
- (cautiously) He did not come at once into the library, so I went cautiously to my own room and found him making the bed. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:46)
- (shut) I had hardly come to this conclusion when I heard the great door below shut, and knew that the Count had returned. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:46)
- (desperate) I am, I know, either being deceived, like a baby, by my own fears, or else I am in desperate straits, and if the latter be so, I need, and shall need, all my brains to get through. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:46)
- (knowledge) So far as I can see, my only plan will be to keep my knowledge and my fears to myself, and my eyes open. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 12:46)
- (motives) He knows well that I am imprisoned, and as he has done it himself, and has doubtless his own motives for it, he would only deceive me if I trusted him fully with the facts. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:57)
- (definite) I am thinking still, and as yet have come to no definite conclusion. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:57)
- (conviction) I rushed up and down the stairs, trying every door and peering out of every window I could find, but after a little the conviction of my helplessness overpowered all other feelings. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:57)
- (wild) When I found that I was a prisoner a sort of wild feeling came over me. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:57)
- (further) But I am not in heart to describe beauty, for when I had seen the view I explored further. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:56)
- (veritable) The castle is a veritable prison, and I am a prisoner! (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:56)
- (exit) In no place save from the windows in the castle walls is there an available exit. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:56)
- (precipice) The castle is on the very edge of a terrific precipice. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:55)
- (view) The view was magnificent, and from where I stood there was every opportunity of seeing it. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:55)
- (tops) A stone falling from the window would fall a thousand feet without touching anything! As far as the eye can reach is a sea of green tree tops, with occasionally a deep rift where there is a chasm. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:55)
- (threads) Here and there are silver threads where the rivers wind in deep gorges through the forests. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:55)
- (towards) I went out on the stairs, and found a room looking towards the South. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:55)
- (peculiar) He must be a very peculiar man! After breakfast I did a little exploring in the castle. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:54)
- (anywhere) When I went into the dining room, breakfast was prepared, but I could not find the Count anywhere. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:54)
- (metal) It is very annoying, for I do not see how I am to shave, unless in my watch-case or the bottom of the shaving pot, which is fortunately of metal. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:54)
- (wrench) Away with it! And opening the window with one wrench of his terrible hand, he flung out the glass, which was shattered into a thousand pieces on the stones of the courtyard far below. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:54)
- (mischief) It is more dangerous that you think in this country. Then seizing the shaving glass, he went on, And this is the wretched thing that has done the mischief. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:52)
- (instant) It made an instant change in him, for the fury passed so quickly that I could hardly believe that it was ever there. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:51)
- (crucifix) I drew away and his hand touched the string of beads which held the crucifix. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:49)
- (throat) When the Count saw my face, his eyes blazed with a sort of demoniac fury, and he suddenly made a grab at my throat. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:49)
- (razor) I laid down the razor, turning as I did so half round to look for some sticking plaster. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:49)
- (trickling) But at the instant I saw that the cut had bled a little, and the blood was trickling over my chin. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:47)
- (vague) This was startling, and coming on the top of so many strange things, was beginning to increase that vague feeling of uneasiness which I always have when the Count is near. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:46)
- (displayed) But there was no reflection of him in the mirror! The whole room behind me was displayed, but there was no sign of a man in it, except myself. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:46)
- (salutation) Having answered the Count's salutation, I turned to the glass again to see how I had been mistaken. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:45)
- (shoulder) This time there could be no error, for the man was close to me, and I could see him over my shoulder. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:45)
- (reflection) Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder, and heard the Count's voice saying to me, Good morning. I started, for it amazed me that I had not seen him, since the reflection of the glass covered the whole room behind me. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:45)
- (shave) I had hung my shaving glass by the window, and was just beginning to shave. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:44)
- (sleep) I only slept a few hours when I went to bed, and feeling that I could not sleep any more, got up. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:44)
- (there) It may be that this strange night existence is telling on me, but would that that were all! If there were any one to talk to I could bear it, but there is no one. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:44)
- (uneasy) But now I am glad that I went into detail from the first, for there is something so strange about this place and all in it that I cannot but feel uneasy. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:44)
- (diffuse) 8 May.--I began to fear as I wrote in this book that I was getting too diffuse. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:44)
- (curtains) So I pulled the curtains again, and have written of this day. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:44)
- (sky) My window opened into the courtyard, all I could see was the warm grey of quickening sky. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:43)
- (bow) You must make your conversation regarding my dear new country of England less interesting, so that I may not forget how time flies by us, and with a courtly bow, he quickly left me. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:43)
- (remiss) Count Dracula, jumping to his feet, said, Why there is the morning again! How remiss I am to let you stay up so long. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:43)
- (preternatural) All at once we heard the crow of the cock coming up with preternatural shrillness through the clear morning air. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:43)
- (post) Anyone who has when tired, and tied as it were to his post, experienced this change in the atmosphere can well believe it. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:43)
- (generally) They say that people who are near death die generally at the change to dawn or at the turn of the tide. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:43)
- (tide) I was not sleepy, as the long sleep yesterday had fortified me, but I could not help experiencing that chill which comes over one at the coming of the dawn, which is like, in its way, the turn of the tide. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:42)
- (obligation) I felt that it was getting very late indeed, but I did not say anything, for I felt under obligation to meet my host's wishes in every way. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:42)
- (dined) The Count again excused himself, as he had dined out on his being away from home. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:42)
- (we) Come! I am informed that your supper is ready. He took my arm, and we went into the next room, where I found an excellent supper ready on the table. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:42)
- (manifestly) On looking at it I found in certain places little rings marked, and on examining these I noticed that one was near London on the east side, manifestly where his new estate was situated. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:42)
- (map) One was an atlas, which I found opened naturally to England, as if that map had been much used. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:41)
- (time) He was some little time away, and I began to look at some of the books around me. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:41)
- (pull) Presently, with an excuse, he left me, asking me to pull my papers together. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:41)
- (casements) The shadows are many, and the wind breathes cold through the broken battlements and casements. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:41)
- (weary) I am no longer young, and my heart, through weary years of mourning over the dead, is not attuned to mirth. (20 Oca 2010 Çar 11:41)
- (pityingly) They were evidently talking of me, for every now and then they looked at me, and some of the people who were sitting on the bench outside the door--came and listened, and then looked at me, most of them pityingly. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 19:23)
- (wrought) The table service is of gold, and so beautifully wrought that it must be of immense value. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 19:23)
- (deficiencies) There are certainly odd deficiencies in the house, considering the extraordinary evidences of wealth which are round me. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 19:23)
- (find) When I had done, I looked for a bell, so that I might let the servants know I had finished, but I could not find one. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 19:23)
- (pleasure) These companions, and he laid his hand on some of the books, have been good friends to me, and for some years past, ever since I had the idea of going to London, have given me many, many hours of pleasure. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 19:22)
- (stops) I am content if I am like the rest, so that no man stops if he sees me, or pauses in his speaking if he hears my words, 'Ha, ha! A stranger!' I have been so long master that I would be master still, or at least that none other should be master of me. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 19:22)
- (knowledge) There is reason that all things are as they are, and did you see with my eyes and know with my knowledge, you would perhaps better understand. I said I was sure of this, and then he went on. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 19:22)
- (notice) This led to much conversation, and as it was evident that he wanted to talk, if only for talking's sake, I asked him many questions regarding things that had already happened to me or come within my notice. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 18:24)
- (china) Whilst I was placing them in order I heard a rattling of china and silver in the next room, and as I passed through, noticed that the table had been cleared and the lamp lit, for it was by this time deep into the dark. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 18:24)
- (suitable) When I had told him the facts and got his signature to the necessary papers, and had written a letter with them ready to post to Mr.Hawkins, he began to ask me how I had come across so suitable a place. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 18:24)
- (pond) There are many trees on it, which make it in places gloomy, and there is a deep, dark-looking pond or small lake, evidently fed by some springs, as the water is clear and flows away in a fair-sized stream. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 18:24)
- (mediaeval) The house is very large and of all periods back, I should say, to mediaeval times, for one part is of stone immensely thick, with only a few windows high up and heavily barred with iron. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 18:23)
- (guess) The house had been added to, but in a very straggling way, and I can only guess at the amount of ground it covers, which must be very great. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 18:23)

- (myself) I myself am of an old family, and to live in a new house would kill me. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 18:23)

- (chapel) It looks like part of a keep, and is close to an old chapel or church. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 18:00)
- (compass) The estate is called Carfax, no doubt a corruption of the old Quatre Face, as the house is four sided, agreeing with the cardinal points of the compass. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 18:00)
- (solid) It contains in all some twenty acres, quite surrounded by the solid stone wall above mentioned. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 18:00)

- (correct) I fall into my country's habit of putting your patronymic first, my friend Jonathan Harker will not be by my side to correct and aid me. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:59)
- (probably) He will be in Exeter, miles away, probably working at papers of the law with my other friend, Peter Hawkins. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:59)
- (pardon) Well, but, my friend, is it not needful that I should? When I go there I shall be all alone, and my friend Harker Jonathan, nay, pardon me. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:58)
- (beforehand) He clearly had studied beforehand all he could get on the subject of the neighbourhood, for he evidently at the end knew very much more than I did. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:58)
- (deeds) When I came in he cleared the books and papers from the table, and with him I went into plans and deeds and figures of all sorts. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:58)
- (surroundings) He was interested in everything, and asked me a myriad questions about the place and its surroundings. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:58)
- (sofa) The lamps were also lit in the study or library, and I found the Count lying on the sofa, reading, of all things in the world, an English Bradshaw's Guide. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:58)
- (remissness) Come, he said at last, tell me of London and of the house which you have procured for me. With an apology for my remissness, I went into my own room to get the papers from my bag. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:58)
- (matters) I know no more than the dead where even to look for them. Then we drifted into other matters. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:57)
- (work) 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. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:56)
- (stir) 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. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:56)
- (invader) When the invader was triumphant he found but little, for whatever there was had been sheltered in the friendly soil. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:56)
- (soil) Why, there is hardly a foot of soil in all this region that has not been enriched by the blood of men, patriots or invaders. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:55)

- (somewhat) Then as time went on, and I had got somewhat bolder, I asked him of some of the strange things of the preceding night, as for instance, why the coachman went to the places where he had seen the blue flames. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:54)
- (frankly) Sometimes he sheered off the subject, or turned the conversation by pretending not to understand, but generally he answered all I asked most frankly. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:54)

- (stranger) Well, I know that, did I move and speak in your London, none there are who would not know me for a stranger. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:52)
- (excellently) Indeed, I said, You speak excellently. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:52)
- (grammar) True, I know the grammar and the words, but yet I know not how to speak them. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:52)
- (travel) I thank you, my friend, for your all too-flattering estimate, but yet I fear that I am but a little way on the road I would travel. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:52)
- (tongue) But alas! As yet I only know your tongue through books. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:52)
- (midst) I long to go through the crowded streets of your mighty London, to be in the midst of the whirl and rush of humanity, to share its life, its change, its death, and all that makes it what it is. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:51)

- (count) Whilst I was looking at the books, the door opened, and the count entered. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:51)
- (navy) There were even such books of reference as the London Directory, the Red and Blue books, Whitaker's Almanac, the Army and navy Lists, and it somehow gladdened my heart to see it, the Law List. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:51)
- (manners) The books were of the most varied kind, history, geography, politics, political economy, botany, geology, law, all relating to England and English life and customs and manners. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:51)
- (recent) A table in the centre was littered with English magazines and newspapers, though none of them were of very recent date. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:51)
- (delight) In the library I found, to my great delight, a vast number of English books, whole shelves full of them, and bound volumes of magazines and newspapers. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:50)
- (library) There was absolutely nothing in the room, book, newspaper, or even writing materials, so I opened another door in the room and found a sort of library. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:50)
- (except) I have not yet seen a servant anywhere, or heard a sound near the castle except the howling of wolves. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:50)
- (toilet) There is not even a toilet glass on my table, and I had to get the little shaving glass from my bag before I could either shave or brush my hair. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:50)
- (mirror) But still in none of the rooms is there a mirror. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:49)
- (court) I saw something like them in Hampton court, but they were worn and frayed and moth-eaten. (19 Oca 2010 Sal 17:49)
- (subject) Sometimes we saw little towns or castles on the top of steep hills such as we see in old missals; sometimes we ran by rivers and streams which seemed from the wide stony margin on each side of them to be subject to great floods. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:27)
- (wide) The strangest figures we saw were the Slovaks, who were more barbarian than the rest, with their big cow-boy hats, great baggy dirty-white trousers, white linen shirts, and enormous heavy leather belts, nearly a foot wide, all studded over with brass nails. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:27)
- (reticent) 4 May--I found that my landlord had got a letter from the Count, directing him to secure the best place on the coach for me; but on making inquiries as to details he seemed somewhat reticent, and pretended that he could not understand my German. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:27)
- (horizon) The Castle.--The gray of the morning has passed, and the sun is high over the distant horizon, which seems jagged, whether with trees or hills I know not, for it is so far off that big things and little are mixed. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:27)
- (werewolf) I must say they were not cheering to me, for amongst them were Ordog--Satan, Pokol--hell, stregoica--witch, vrolok and vlkoslak--both mean the same thing, one being Slovak and the other Servian for something that is either werewolf or vampire. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:26)
- (pause) The dogs are too fierce. And then he added, with what he evidently meant for grim pleasantry--for he looked round to catch the approving smile of the rest--And you may have enough of such matters before you go to sleep. The only stop he would make was a moment's pause to light his lamps. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:26)
- (mixture) These were certainly of an odd and varied kind, but each was given in simple good faith, with a kindly word, and a blessing, and that same strange mixture of fear-meaning movements which I had seen outside the hotel at Bistritz--the sign of the cross and the guard against the evil eye. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:26)
- (own) I was already thinking what I had best do, when the driver, looking at his watch, said to the others something which I could hardly hear, it was spoken so quietly and in so low a tone, I thought it was An hour less than the time. Then turning to me, he spoke in German worse than my own. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:26)
- (imagination) The sound was taken up by another dog, and then another and another, till, borne on the wind which now sighed softly through the Pass, a wild howling began, which seemed to come from all over the country, as far as the imagination could grasp it through the gloom of the night. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:26)
- (trap) I called to the coachman to come, for it seemed to me that our only chance was to try to break out through the ring and to aid his approach, I shouted and beat the side of the caleche, hoping by the noise to scare the wolves from the side, so as to give him a chance of reaching the trap. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:26)
- (doorway) Then he took my traps, and placed them on the ground beside me as I stood close to a great door, old and studded with large iron nails, and set in a projecting doorway of massive stone. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:25)
- (customary) What sort of place had I come to, and among what kind of people? What sort of grim adventure was it on which I had embarked? Was this a customary incident in the life of a solicitor's clerk sent out to explain the purchase of a London estate to a foreigner? Solicitor's clerk! Mina would not like that. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:25)
- (overwork) It all seemed like a horrible nightmare to me, and I expected that I should suddenly awake, and find myself at home, with the dawn struggling in through the windows, as I had now and again felt in the morning after a day of overwork. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:25)
- (wince) The instant, however, that I had stepped over the threshold, he moved impulsively forward, and holding out his hand grasped mine with a strength which made me wince, an effect which was not lessened by the fact that it seemed cold as ice, more like the hand of a dead than a living man. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:25)
- (handshake) Go safely, and leave something of the happiness you bring! The strength of the handshake was so much akin to that which I had noticed in the driver, whose face I had not seen, that for a moment I doubted if it were not the same person to whom I was speaking. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:25)
- (hearth) At the end of this he threw open a heavy door, and I rejoiced to see within a well-lit room in which a table was spread for supper, and on whose mighty hearth a great fire of logs, freshly replenished, flamed and flared. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:24)
- (octagonal) The Count halted, putting down my bags, closed the door, and crossing the room, opened another door, which led into a small octagonal room lit by a single lamp, and seemingly without a window of any sort. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:24)
- (gout) I must regret that an attack of gout, from which malady I am a constant sufferer, forbids absolutely any travelling on my part for some time to come. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:24)
- (sufficient) But I am happy to say I can send a sufficient substitute, one in whom I have every possible confidence. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:24)
- (smoke) By this time I had finished my supper, and by my host's desire had drawn up a chair by the fire and begun to smoke a cigar which he offered me, at the same time excusing himself that he did not smoke. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:24)
- (nostrils) His face was a strong, a very strong, aquiline, with high bridge of the thin nose and peculiarly arched nostrils, with lofty domed forehead, and hair growing scantily round the temples but profusely elsewhere. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:23)
- (profusion) His eyebrows were very massive, almost meeting over the nose, and with bushy hair that seemed to curl in its own profusion. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:23)
- (teeth) The mouth, so far as I could see it under the heavy moustache, was fixed and rather cruel-looking, with peculiarly sharp white teeth. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:23)
- (remarkable) These protruded over the lips, whose remarkable ruddiness showed astonishing vitality in a man of his years. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:23)
- (repress) As the Count leaned over me and his hands touched me, I could not repress a shudder. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:23)
- (sleep) Your bedroom is all ready, and tomorrow you shall sleep as late as you will. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:23)
- (expression) What music they make! Seeing, I suppose, some expression in my face strange to him, he added, Ah, sir, you dwellers in the city cannot enter into the feelings of the hunter. Then he rose and said. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:22)
- (valley) But as I listened, I heard as if from down below in the valley the howling of many wolves. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:22)
- (stillness) There seemed a strange stillness over everything. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:22)
- (streak) We were both silent for a while, and as I looked towards the window I saw the first dim streak of the coming dawn. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:22)
- (rank) It may have been that his breath was rank, but a horrible feeling of nausea came over me, which, do what I would, I could not conceal. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:21)
- (sharp) The nails were long and fine, and cut to a sharp point. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:21)
- (palm) Strange to say, there were hairs in the centre of the palm. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:21)
- (coarse) But seeing them now close to me, I could not but notice that they were rather coarse, broad, with squat fingers. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:21)
- (rather) Hitherto I had noticed the backs of his hands as they lay on his knees in the firelight, and they had seemed rather white and fine. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:21)
- (extraordinary) The general effect was one of extraordinary pallor. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:20)
- (firm) The chin was broad and strong, and the cheeks firm though thin. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:20)
- (pale) For the rest, his ears were pale, and at the tops extremely pointed. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:20)
- (physiognomy) I had now an opportunity of observing him, and found him of a very marked physiognomy. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:20)
- (experienced) During the time I was eating it the Count asked me many questions as to my journey, and I told him by degrees all I had experienced. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:20)
- (salad) This, with some cheese and a salad and a bottle of old tokay, of which I had two glasses, was my supper. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:20)
- (roast) The count himself came forward and took off the cover of a dish, and I fell to at once on an excellent roast chicken. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:20)
- (instructions) He shall be ready to attend on you when you will during his stay, and shall take your instructions in all matters. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:20)
- (discreet) He is discreet and silent, and has grown into manhood in my service. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:20)
- (faithful) He is a young man, full of energy and talent in his own way, and of a very faithful disposition. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:19)
- (read) Then, with a charming smile, he handed it to me to read. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:19)
- (gravely) He opened it and read it gravely. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:19)
- (entrusted) I handed to him the sealed letter which Mr.Hawkins had entrusted to me. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:19)
- (sup) You will I trust, excuse me that I do not join you, but I have dined already, and I do not sup. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:19)
- (wave) My host, who stood on one side of the great fireplace, leaning against the stonework, made a graceful wave of his hand to the table, and said, (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:19)
- (already) I found supper already laid out. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:19)
- (hasty) So making a hasty toilet, I went into the other room. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:19)
- (state) Having then reached my normal state, I discovered that I was half famished with hunger. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:18)
- (warmth) The light and warmth and the Count's courteous welcome seemed to have dissipated all my doubts and fears. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:18)
- (supper) When you are ready, come into the other room, where you will find your supper prepared. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:18)
- (wish) I trust you will find all you wish. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:18)
- (refresh) You will need, after your journey, to refresh yourself by making your toilet. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:18)
- (inside) The Count himself left my luggage inside and withdrew, saying, before he closed the door. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:18)
- (log) For here was a great bedroom well lighted and warmed with another log fire, also added to but lately, for the top logs were fresh, which sent a hollow roar up the wide chimney. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:15)
- (enter) Passing through this, he opened another door, and motioned me to enter. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:15)
- (passage) Let me see to your comfort myself. He insisted on carrying my traps along the passage, and then up a great winding stair, and along another great passage, on whose stone floor our steps rang heavily. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:15)
- (forestall) He had carried it in before I could forestall him. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:15)
- (chill) Come in, the night air is chill, and you must need to eat and rest. As he was speaking, he put the lamp on a bracket on the wall, and stepping out, took my luggage. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:14)
- (welcome) He bowed in a courtly way as he replied, I am Dracula, and I bid you welcome, Mr.Harker, to my house. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:14)
- (interrogatively) So to make sure, I said interrogatively, Count Dracula? (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:14)
- (statue) Welcome to my house! Enter freely and of your own free will! He made no motion of stepping to meet me, but stood like a statue, as though his gesture of welcome had fixed him into stone. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:14)
- (gesture) The old man motioned me in with his right hand with a courtly gesture, saying in excellent English, but with a strange intonation. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:13)
- (chimney) He held in his hand an antique silver lamp, in which the flame burned without a chimney or globe of any kind, throwing long quivering shadows as it flickered in the draught of the open door. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:13)
- (moustache) Within, stood a tall old man, clean shaven save for a long white moustache, and clad in black from head to foot, without a single speck of colour about him anywhere. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:01)
- (disuse) A key was turned with the loud grating noise of long disuse, and the great door swung back. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:00)
- (conclusion) Just as I had come to this conclusion I heard a heavy step approaching behind the great door, and saw through the chinks the gleam of a coming light. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:00)
- (wait) All I could do now was to be patient, and to wait the coming of morning. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:00)
- (flesh) But my flesh answered the pinching test, and my eyes were not to be deceived. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:00)
- (way) Then, far off in the distance, from the mountains on each side of us began a louder and a sharper howling, that of wolves, which affected both the horses and myself in the same way. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:00)
- (howl) At the first howl the horses began to strain and rear, but the driver spoke to them soothingly, and they quieted down, but shivered and sweated as though after a runaway from sudden fright. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 16:00)
- (peasants) On this were sure to be seated quite a group of homecoming peasants, the Cszeks with their white, and the Slovaks with their coloured sheepskins, the latter carrying lance-fashion their long staves, with axe at end. (18 Oca 2010 Pts 15:59)
- (pinch) Solicitor, for just before leaving London I got word that my examination was successful, and I am now a full-blown solicitor! I began to rub my eyes and pinch myself to see if I were awake. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:31)
- (doubts) The time I waited seemed endless, and I felt doubts and fears crowding upon me. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:31)
- (penetrate) Through these frowning walls and dark window openings it was not likely that my voice could penetrate. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:30)
- (silence) I stood in silence where I was, for I did not know what to do. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:30)
- (openings) The horses started forward, and trap and all disappeared down one of the dark openings. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:30)
- (reins) As I stood, the driver jumped again into his seat and shook the reins. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:30)
- (dim) I could see even in the dim light that the stone was massively carved, but that the carving had been much worn by time and weather. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:30)
- (steel) His hand actually seemed like a steel vice that could have crushed mine if he had chosen. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:29)
- (prodigious) Again I could not but notice his prodigious strength. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:29)
- (alight) When the caleche stopped, the driver jumped down and held out his hand to assist me to alight. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:29)
- (yet) I have not yet been able to see it by daylight. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:29)
- (gloom) In the gloom the courtyard looked of considerable size, and as several dark ways led from it under great round arches, it perhaps seemed bigger than it really is. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:28)
- (courtyard) Suddenly, I became conscious of the fact that the driver was in the act of pulling up the horses in the courtyard of a vast ruined castle, from whose tall black windows came no ray of light, and whose broken battlements showed a jagged line against the sky. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:28)
- (occasional) We kept on ascending, with occasional periods of quick descent, but in the main always ascending. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:28)
- (obscured) The time seemed interminable as we swept on our way, now in almost complete darkness, for the rolling clouds obscured the moon. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:28)
- (speak) This was all so strange and uncanny that a dreadful fear came upon me, and I was afraid to speak or move. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:28)
- (disappeared) When I could see again the driver was climbing into the caleche, and the wolves disappeared. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:28)
- (so) Just then a heavy cloud passed across the face of the moon, so that we were again in darkness. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:27)
- (obstacle) As he swept his long arms, as though brushing aside some impalpable obstacle, the wolves fell back and back further still. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:27)
- (imperious) How he came there, I know not, but I heard his voice raised in a tone of imperious command, and looking towards the sound, saw him stand in the roadway. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:27)
- (perforce) But the living ring of terror encompassed them on every side, and they had perforce to remain within it. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:27)
- (painful) The horses jumped about and reared, and looked helplessly round with eyes that rolled in a way painful to see. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:27)
- (peculiar) All at once the wolves began to howl as though the moonlight had had some peculiar effect on them. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:27)
- (true) It is only when a man feels himself face to face with such horrors that he can understand their true import. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:27)
- (paralysis) For myself, I felt a sort of paralysis of fear. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:26)
- (silence) They were a hundred times more terrible in the grim silence which held them than even when they howled. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:26)
- (limbs) But just then the moon, sailing through the black clouds, appeared behind the jagged crest of a beetling, pine-clad rock, and by its light I saw around us a ring of wolves, with white teeth and lolling red tongues, with long, sinewy limbs and shaggy hair. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:26)
- (altogether) I could not see any cause for it, for the howling of the wolves had ceased altogether. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:26)
- (scream) At last there came a time when the driver went further afield than he had yet gone, and during his absence, the horses began to tremble worse than ever and to snort and scream with fright. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:26)
- (onwards) Then for a time there were no blue flames, and we sped onwards through the gloom, with the howling of the wolves around us, as though they were following in a moving circle. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:26)
- (momentary) This startled me, but as the effect was only momentary, I took it that my eyes deceived me straining through the darkness. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:26)
- (obstruct) When he stood between me and the flame he did not obstruct it, for I could see its ghostly flicker all the same. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:26)
- (optical) Once there appeared a strange optical effect. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:26)
- (device) He went rapidly to where the blue flame arose, it must have been very faint, for it did not seem to illumine the place around it at all, and gathering a few stones, formed them into some device. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:25)
- (watch) Once the flame appeared so near the road, that even in the darkness around us I could watch the driver's motions. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:25)
- (sort) I think I must have fallen asleep and kept dreaming of the incident, for it seemed to be repeated endlessly, and now looking back, it is like a sort of awful nightmare. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:25)
- (word) But while I wondered, the driver suddenly appeared again, and without a word took his seat, and we resumed our journey. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:25)
- (what) I did not know what to do, the less as the howling of the wolves grew closer. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:25)
- (darkness) He at once checked the horses, and, jumping to the ground, disappeared into the darkness. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:25)
- (moment) The driver saw it at the same moment. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:24)
- (flickering) Suddenly, away on our left I saw a faint flickering blue flame. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:24)
- (through) He kept turning his head to left and right, but I could not see anything through the darkness. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:24)
- (least) The driver, however, was not in the least disturbed. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:24)
- (fear) I grew dreadfully afraid, and the horses shared my fear. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:24)
- (us) The baying of the wolves sounded nearer and nearer, as though they were closing round on us from every side. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:24)
- (keen) The keen wind still carried the howling of the dogs, though this grew fainter as we went on our way. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:24)
- (blanket) It grew colder and colder still, and fine, powdery snow began to fall, so that soon we and all around us were covered with a white blanket. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:24)
- (shelter) Though we were in shelter, we could hear the rising wind, for it moaned and whistled through the rocks, and the branches of the trees crashed together as we swept along. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:23)
- (rocks) And again great frowning rocks guarded us boldly on either side. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:23)
- (tunnel) Soon we were hemmed in with trees, which in places arched right over the roadway till we passed as through a tunnel. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:23)
- (suddenly) This time, after going to the far side of the Pass, he suddenly turned down a narrow roadway which ran sharply to the right. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:23)
- (seat) The driver again took his seat, and shaking his reins, started off at a great pace. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:23)
- (extraordinary) He petted and soothed them, and whispered something in their ears, as I have heard of horse-tamers doing, and with extraordinary effect, for under his caresses they became quite manageable again, though they still trembled. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:23)
- (strength) For I was minded to jump from the caleche and run, whilst they reared again and plunged madly, so that the driver had to use all his great strength to keep them from bolting. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:22)
- (delay) I would have liked to have asked the driver what this all meant, but I really feared to do so, for I thought that, placed as I was, any protest would have had no effect in case there had been an intention to delay. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:22)
- (rug) But a cloak was thrown over my shoulders, and a rug across my knees, and the driver said in excellent German--The night is chill, mein Herr, and my master the Count bade me take all care of you. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:22)
- (amongst) Then, amongst a chorus of screams from the peasants and a universal crossing of themselves, a caleche, with four horses, drove up behind us, overtook us, and drew up beside the coach. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:22)
- (return) He will now come on to Bukovina, and return tomorrow or the next day, better the next day. Whilst he was speaking the horses began to neigh and snort and plunge wildly, so that the driver had to hold them up. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:22)
- (explanation) It was evident that something very exciting was either happening or expected, but though I asked each passenger, no one would give me the slightest explanation. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:21)
- (eagerly) Then, as we flew along, the driver leaned forward, and on each side the passengers, craning over the edge of the coach, peered eagerly into the darkness. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:21)
- (fly) The road grew more level, and we appeared to fly along. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:21)
- (silver) For instance, hay-ricks in the trees, and here and there very beautiful masses of weeping birch, their white stems shining like silver through the delicate green of the leaves. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:20)
- (peasant) Here and there was a peasant man or woman kneeling before a shrine, who did not even turn round as we approached, but seemed in the self-surrender of devotion to have neither eyes nor ears for the outer world. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:20)
- (lofty) One of my companions touched my arm as we swept round the base of a hill and opened up the lofty, snow-covered peak of a mountain, which seemed, as we wound on our serpentine way, to be right before us. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:20)
- (repair) Of old the Hospadars would not repair them, lest the Turk should think that they were preparing to bring in foreign troops, and so hasten the war which was always really at loading point. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:19)
- (steep) Before us lay a green sloping land full of forests and woods, with here and there steep hills, crowned with clumps of trees or with farmhouses, the blank gable end to the road. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:19)
- (recollection) I soon lost sight and recollection of ghostly fears in the beauty of the scene as we drove along, although had I known the language, or rather languages, which my fellow-passengers were speaking, I might not have been able to throw them off so easily. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:19)
- (linen) Then our driver, whose wide linen drawers covered the whole front of the boxseat,--gotza they call them--cracked his big whip over his four small horses, which ran abreast, and we set off on our journey. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:19)
- (considerable) When we started, the crowd round the inn door, which had by this time swelled to a considerable size, all made the sign of the cross and pointed two fingers towards me. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:19)
- (queer) I could hear a lot of words often repeated, queer words, for there were many nationalities in the crowd, so I quietly got my polyglot dictionary from my bag and looked them out. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:18)
- (robber) I dined on what they called robber steak--bits of bacon, onion, and beef, seasoned with red pepper, and strung on sticks, and roasted over the fire, in simple style of the London cat's meat! (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:18)
- (ought) I had to hurry breakfast, for the train started a little before eight, or rather it ought to have done so, for after rushing to the station at 7:30 I had to sit in the carriage for more than an hour before we began to move. (17 Oca 2010 Pzr 19:18)
- (descend) In a few minutes, however, my own ears got accustomed to the sound, and the horses so far became quiet that the driver was able to descend and to stand before them. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:30)
- (howl) Then a dog began to howl somewhere in a farmhouse far down the road, a long, agonized wailing, as if from fear. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:29)
- (suspense) I waited with a sick feeling of suspense. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:29)
- (shock) This gave me a sort of shock, for I suppose the general superstition about midnight was increased by my recent experiences. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:29)
- (midnight) It was within a few minutes of midnight. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:29)
- (flame) By-and-by, however, as I was curious to know how time was passing, I struck a match, and by its flame looked at my watch. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:29)
- (salient) It seemed to me that we were simply going over and over the same ground again, and so I took note of some salient point, and found that this was so. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:29)
- (straight) The carriage went at a hard pace straight along, then we made a complete turn and went along another straight road. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:29)
- (unknown) I think had there been any alternative I should have taken it, instead of prosecuting that unknown night journey. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:29)
- (strangely) I felt a little strangely, and not a little frightened. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:28)
- (comfort) I did not take any, but it was a comfort to know it was there all the same. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:28)
- (flask) There is a flask of slivovitz (the plum brandy of the country) underneath the seat, if you should require it. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:28)
- (chill) As they sank into the darkness I felt a strange chill, and a lonely feeling come over me. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:28)
- (whip) Then the driver cracked his whip and called to his horses, and off they swept on their way to Bukovina. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:28)
- (steam) As I looked back I saw the steam from the horses of the coach by the light of the lamps, and projected against it the figures of my late companions crossing themselves. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:28)
- (reins) Without a word he shook his reins, the horses turned, and we swept into the darkness of the pass. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:27)
- (alongside) Then I descended from the side of the coach, as the caleche was close alongside, the driver helping me with a hand which caught my arm in a grip of steel. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:27)
- (himself) The passenger turned his face away, at the same time putting out his two fingers and crossing himself. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:27)
- (strange) The strange driver evidently heard the words, for he looked up with a gleaming smile. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:27)
- (whispered) One of my companions whispered to another the line from Burger's Lenore. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:27)
- (lamplight) As he spoke he smiled, and the lamplight fell on a hard-looking mouth, with very red lips and sharp-looking teeth, as white as ivory. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:26)
- (why) To which the stranger replied, That is why, I suppose, you wished him to go on to Bukovina. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:26)
- (gleam) I could only see the gleam of a pair of very bright eyes, which seemed red in the lamplight, as he turned to us. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:26)
- (hide) They were driven by a tall man, with a long brown beard and a great black hat, which seemed to hide his face from us. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:26)
- (splendid) I could see from the flash of our lamps as the rays fell on them, that the horses were coal-black and splendid animals. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:25)
- (mock) The passengers drew back with a sigh of gladness, which seemed to mock my own disappointment. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:25)
- (sandy) We could see now the sandy road lying white before us, but there was on it no sign of a vehicle. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:25)
- (steam) The only light was the flickering rays of our own lamps, in which the steam from our hard-driven horses rose in a white cloud. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:25)
- (glare) Each moment I expected to see the glare of lamps through the blackness, but all was dark. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:25)
- (conveyance) I was now myself looking out for the conveyance which was to take me to the Count. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:25)
- (range) It seemed as though the mountain range had separated two atmospheres, and that now we had got into the thunderous one. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:25)
- (overhead) There were dark, rolling clouds overhead, and in the air the heavy, oppressive sense of thunder. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:25)
- (side) And at last we saw before us the Pass opening out on the eastern side. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:25)
- (time) This state of excitement kept on for some little time. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:25)
- (denial) One by one several of the passengers offered me gifts, which they pressed upon me with an earnestness which would take no denial. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:24)
- (frown) Then the mountains seemed to come nearer to us on each side and to frown down upon us. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:24)
- (stormy) The crazy coach rocked on its great leather springs, and swayed like a boat tossed on a stormy sea. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:24)
- (patch) Then through the darkness I could see a sort of patch of grey light ahead of us, as though there were a cleft in the hills. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:24)
- (excitement) The excitement of the passengers grew greater. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:24)
- (vertebra) Now and again we passed a leiter-wagon--the ordinary peasants's cart--with its long, snakelike vertebra, calculated to suit the inequalities of the road. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:23)
- (prevalent) Here and there we passed Cszeks and slovaks, all in picturesque attire, but I noticed that goitre was painfully prevalent. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:23)
- (sunset) This was emphasized by the fact that the snowy mountain-top still held the sunset, and seemed to glow out with a delicate cool pink. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:23)
- (wound) As we wound on our endless way, and the sun sank lower and lower behind us, the shadows of the evening began to creep round us. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:23)
- (sink) Here and there seemed mighty rifts in the mountains, through which, as the sun began to sink, we saw now and again the white gleam of falling water. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:23)
- (mighty) Beyond the green swelling hills of the Mittel Land rose mighty slopes of forest up to the lofty steeps of the Carpathians themselves. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:23)
- (respect) In this respect it is different from the general run of roads in the Carpathians, for it is an old tradition that they are not to be kept in too good order. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:22)
- (winter) I was told that this road is in summertime excellent, but that it had not yet been put in order after the winter snows. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:22)
- (haste) I could not understand then what the haste meant, but the driver was evidently bent on losing no time in reaching Borgo Prund. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:22)
- (true) This could not be true, because up to then he had understood it perfectly; at least, he answered my questions exactly as if he did. (16 Oca 2010 Cmt 13:22)
- (whip) He lashed the horses unmercifully with his long whip, and with wild cries of encouragement urged them on to further exertions. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:36)
- (amongst) When it grew dark there seemed to be some excitement amongst the passengers, and they kept speaking to him, one after the other, as though urging him to further speed. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:36)
- (driver) I wished to get down and walk up them, as we do at home, but the driver would not hear of it. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:35)
- (steep) Sometimes the hills were so steep that, despite our driver's haste, the horses could only go slowly. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:35)
- (companions) By the roadside were many crosses, and as we swept by, my companions all crossed themselves. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:35)
- (feverish) The road was rugged, but still we seemed to fly over it with a feverish haste. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:35)
- (petals) And as we drove by I could see the green grass under the trees spangled with the fallen petals. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:35)
- (plum) There was everywhere a bewildering mass of fruit blossom--apple, plum, pear, cherry. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:34)
- (sympathetic) But everyone seemed so kind-hearted, and so sorrowful, and so sympathetic that I could not but be touched. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:34)
- (pleasant) This was not very pleasant for me, just starting for an unknown place to meet an unknown man. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:34)
- (guard) He would not answer at first, but on learning that I was English, he explained that it was a charm or guard against the evil eye. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:34)
- (difficulty) With some difficulty, I got a fellow passenger to tell me what they meant. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:34)
- (tongue) The wine was Golden Mediasch, which produces a queer sting on the tongue, which is, however, not disagreeable. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:34)
- (nothing) I had only a couple of glasses of this, and nothing else. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:34)
- (landlady) When I got on the coach, the driver had not taken his seat, and I saw him talking to the landlady. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:33)
- (fancy) There are many odd things to put down, and, lest who reads them may fancy that I dined too well before I left Bistritz, let me put down my dinner exactly. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:33)
- (sleepy) I am not sleepy, and, as I am not to be called till I awake, naturally I write till sleep comes. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:33)
- (state) I did not know what to do, for, as an English Churchman, I have been taught to regard such things as in some measure idolatrous, and yet it seemed so ungracious to refuse an old lady meaning so well and in such a state of mind. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:33)
- (modesty) I was evidently expected, for when I got near the door I faced a cheery-looking elderly woman in the usual peasant dress--white undergarment with a long double apron, front, and back, of coloured stuff fitting almost too tight for modesty. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:33)
- (delight) Count Dracula had directed me to go to the Golden Krone Hotel, which I found, to my great delight, to be thoroughly old-fashioned, for of course I wanted to see all I could of the ways of the country. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:33)
- (further) When I asked him if he knew Count Dracula, and could tell me anything of his castle, both he and his wife crossed themselves, and, saying that they knew nothing at all, simply refused to speak further. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:33)
- (rosary) She saw, I suppose, the doubt in my face, for she put the rosary round my neck and said, For your mother's sake, and went out of the room. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:32)
- (whilst) I am writing up this part of the diary whilst I am waiting for the coach, which is, of course, late; and the crucifix is still round my neck. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:32)
- (usual) Whether it is the old lady's fear, or the many ghostly traditions of this place, or the crucifix itself, I do not know, but I am not feeling nearly as easy in my mind as usual. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:32)
- (goodbye) If this book should ever reach Mina before I do, let it bring my goodbye. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:32)
- (crucifix) She then rose and dried her eyes, and taking a crucifix from her neck offered it to me. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:31)
- (imperative) I tried to raise her up, and said, as gravely as I could, that I thanked her, but my duty was imperative, and that I must go. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:31)
- (interfere) However, there was business to be done, and I could allow nothing to interfere with it. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:31)
- (ridiculous) It was all very ridiculous but I did not feel comfortable. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:31)
- (mysterious) It was so near the time of starting that I had no time to ask anyone else, for it was all very mysterious and not by any means comforting. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 15:31)
- (mumbled) He mumbled out that the money had been sent in a letter, and that was all he knew. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:43)
- (sort) He and his wife, the old lady who had received me, looked at each other in a frightened sort of way. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:43)
- (stay) I trust that your journey from London has been a happy one, and that you will enjoy your stay in my beautiful land.--Your friend, Dracula. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:43)
- (await) At the Borgo Pass my carriage will await you and will bring you to me. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:42)
- (diligence) At three tomorrow the diligence will start for Bukovina; a place on it is kept for you. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:42)
- (elderly) She smiled, and gave some message to an elderly man in white shirtsleeves, who had followed her to the door. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:42)
- (siege) At the very beginning of the seventeenth century it underwent a siege of three weeks and lost 13,000 people, the casualties of war proper being assisted by famine and disease. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:41)
- (havoc) Fifty years ago a series of great fires took place, which made terrible havoc on five separate occasions. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:41)
- (existence) Being practically on the frontier--for the Borgo Pass leads from it into Bukovina--it has had a very stormy existence, and it certainly shows marks of it. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:41)
- (twilight) It was on the dark side of twilight when we got to Bistritz, which is a very interesting old place. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:41)
- (harmless) They are, however, I am told, very harmless and rather wanting in natural self-assertion. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:41)
- (brigands) On the stage they would be set down at once as some old Oriental band of brigands. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:41)
- (picturesque) They are very picturesque, but do not look prepossessing. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:41)
- (moustaches) They wore high boots, with their trousers tucked into them, and had long black hair and heavy black moustaches. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:40)
- (strips) They had all full white sleeves of some kind or other, and most of them had big belts with a lot of strips of something fluttering from them like the dresses in a ballet, but of course there were petticoats under them. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:40)
- (waist) The women looked pretty, except when you got near them, but they were very clumsy about the waist. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:40)
- (picturesque) Some of them were just like the peasants at home or those I saw coming through France and Germany, with short jackets, and round hats, and home-made trousers; but others were very picturesque. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:40)
- (attire) At every station there were groups of people, sometimes crowds, and in all sorts of attire. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:39)
- (sweep) It takes a lot of water, and running strong, to sweep the outside edge of a river clear. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:39)
- (paprika) I had for breakfast more paprika, and a sort of porridge of maize flour which they said was mamaliga, and egg-plant stuffed with forcemeat, a very excellent dish, which they call impletata. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:39)
- (emphasis) Kazakhstan puts the emphasis on security and development, rather than democracy, as it takes over the OSCE. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:37)
- (extremism) Two leading US senators urge the Pentagon to take steps to combat the threat of Muslim extremism within the military. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:37)
- (portions) I find that the district he named is in the extreme east of the country, just on the borders of three states, Transylvania, Moldavia, and Bukovina, in the midst of the Carpathian mountains; one of the wildest and least known portions of Europe. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:37)
- (dawdle) All day long we seemed to dawdle through a country which was full of beauty of every kind. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:37)
- (further) It seems to me that the further east you go the more unpunctual are the trains. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:36)
- (soundly) Towards morning I slept and was wakened by the continuous knocking at my door, so I guess I must have been sleeping soundly then. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:36)
- (carafe) There was a dog howling all night under my window, which may have had something to do with it; or it may have been the paprika, for I had to drink up all the water in my carafe, and was still thirsty. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:36)
- (queer) I did not sleep well, though my bed was comfortable enough, for I had all sorts of queer dreams. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:35)
- (superstition) I read that every known superstition in the world is gathered into the horseshoe of the Carpathians, as if it were the centre of some sort of imaginative whirlpool; if so my stay may be very interesting. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:35)
- (century) This may be so, for when the Magyars conquered the country in the eleventh century they found the Huns settled in it. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:35)

- (descendants) In the population of Transylvania there are four distinct nationalities: Saxons in the South, and mixed with them the Wallachs, who are the descendants of the Dacians; Magyars in the West, and Szekelys in the East and North. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:35)
- (refresh) I shall enter here some of my notes, as they may refresh my memory when I talk over my travels with Mina. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:34)
- (useful) I found my smattering of German very useful here, indeed, I don't know how I should be able to get on without it. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:34)
- (thirsty) I had for dinner, or rather supper, a chicken done up some way with red pepper, which was very good but thirsty. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:34)
- (western) The impression I had was that we were leaving the West and entering the East; the most western of splendid bridges over the Danube, which is here of noble width and depth, took us among the traditions of Turkish rule. (15 Oca 2010 Cum 14:34)
