At a tavern in the town, there has happened some strange scenes of violence, in consequence of the general excitement into which the common people have been thrown upon the dreadful subject of vampyres." "Well."
I'll warrant when the next natural term of his existence came round again, he wouldn't be in no hurry to renew it; if he did, I should say that vampyres had the happy lot of managing women, which I haven't got." "No, nor anybody else."
There was a deep silence observed by all those in the immediate vicinity of the coffin, but those farther in the rear found full expression for their feelings. "Do you think," said an old man to another, "that he will come to life again, eh?" "Oh, yes, vampyres always do, and lay in the moonlight, and then they come to life again. Moonlight recovers a vampyre to life again."
I didn't know anything about vampyres till I came here; but that was my ignorance, you know. There might have been lots of vampyres where I've been, for all I know." "Oh, certainly; but as regards this duel, will you wait now until to-morrow morning, before you take any further steps in the matter?" "Till to-morrow morning?" "Yes, uncle."
"I knew it. Were I you, I should hesitate to believe the tale; but the fact is, we have every reason to believe that one member of our own family is one of those horrible preternatural beings called vampyres." "Good God, Henry, can you allow your judgment for a moment to stoop to such a supposition?"
"Ay; but you must destroy all those who are even suspected of being vampyres, or else one may do all the mischief." "So he might." "Hurrah!" shouted the mob. "Chillingworth for ever! We'll find the doctor somewhere, if we pull down the whole town."
"You'd better all of you go home; I shall have no hand in pulling up any more of the coffins this is a dose for me. Of course you can do what you like." "Pull them all up!" cried a voice; "pull them all up! Let's see how many vampyres there are in the churchyard." "Well, it's no business of mine," said Dick; "but I wouldn't, if I was you."
"To-night," he repeated, "is the full of the moon. How strange that this dreadful adventure should have taken place just the night before. 'Tis very strange. Let me see let me see." He took from the shelves of a book case the work which Flora had mentioned, entitled, "Travels in Norway," in which work he found some account of the popular belief in vampyres.
The one kind of illumination, equally with the other, is an essential part of its police. No matter what the cost, the dark holes and alleys must be flooded with the light of truth, before which the owls and bats and vampyres of society will be scattered to the winds. A great city without schools would be a hell, a seething caldron of vice, impurity, and crime.
However, curiosity was exerted to such an extraordinary pitch that it overcame the fear of danger, in search of the horrible; for they believed that if there were any one in the ruins he must be a vampyre, of course, and they were somewhat cautious in going near such a creature, lest in so doing they should meet with some accident, and become vampyres too.
