They were bodies, human bodies, naked and unquestionably dead. In the night, the dry, vampirish Martian air had dessicated them. They were skeletons, parchment skin stretched tightly over the lifeless bones. Even as she stood and looked, a group of figures appeared on the horizon and came slowly nearer.
Through the strange women clustering at the corners I took my way, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites, and I thought, as I looked into their poor painted faces, faces but half human, vampirish faces, faces already waxen with the look of the grave, I thought, as I often did, of the poor little girl whom De Quincey loved, the good-hearted little 'peripatetic' as he called her, who had succoured him during those nights, when, as a young man, he wandered homeless about these very streets, that good, kind little Ann whom De Quincey had loved, then so strangely lost, and for whose face he looked into women's faces as long as he lived.
Although she preserved, or tried to preserve, the same tranquil air of interest toward them all a tranquillity and interest which generally required no effort some of the people she met in the day's work subconsciously aroused a feeling of antagonism in her, some secretly amused her, some irritated her, some made her feel under a strain, and some even had the queer, vampirish effect of leaving her washed out and listless psychological puzzles which she had never been able to solve.
Her scruples against hearing protestations of love from a man she believed she had injured were creditable to her conscience, but Archie was all impatient to shatter them. She made a candid confession to Mrs. Congdon, with Putney and Archie standing by. "With malice aforethought I practiced my vampirish arts upon these two men! And, Alice, the crudest thing you could do would be to forgive me!
"On this event Scott's beautiful ballad of 'Glenfinlas' is said to have been founded." As will be seen presently, Hogg was wrong about 'Glenfinlas'; the boatman was acquainted with a traditional version of that wild legend. I found another at Rannoch. The Highland fairies are very vampirish. The Loch Awe boatman lives at a spot haunted by a shadowy maiden.
He knew that all depended upon his absolute immobility; yet something in his brain was prompting him prompting him to gather the witch to his breast; to return that poisonous, that vampirish kiss, and then to crush out life from the small lithe body. Sternly he fought down these strange promptings, which he knew to emanate hypnotically from the brain of the creature bending over him.
The trypanosomes are fighting with the normal blood cells. Here we have the lowest group of animal life, the protozoa, at work killing the highest, man." Kennedy needed nothing more than the breathless stillness to convince him of the effectiveness of his method of presenting his case. "Now," he resumed, "let us leave this blood-sucking, vampirish tse-tse fly for the moment.
Sitting down, I tried to conjecture as nearly as sanity would let me just what had happened, and how I might end the horror, if indeed it had been real. Matter it seemed not to be, nor ether, nor anything else conceivable by mortal mind. What, then, but some exotic emanation; some vampirish vapor such as Exeter rustics tell of as lurking over certain churchyards?
A man may force his actual wife to share the direst poverty, but even the least vampirish woman of the third part demands to be courted in what, considering his station in life, is the grand manner, and the expenses of that grand manner scare off all save a small minority of specialists in deception.
So begin, my Cyprianus, and be as gloomy, as frightful, as terrible as the vampirish Lord Byron himself, though I know nothing about him, as I have never read a word of his writings." The ancestral home was situated in the most beautiful and charming country imaginable, and the income from the property was amply sufficient to defray the cost of most extensive improvements.
