"A jest is welcome in its place, but pray hear me out, sir, if it suit your lofty courtesy to do so." "Oh, certainly." "Then I say we believe, as far as human judgment has a right to go, that a vampyre has been here." "Go on, it's interesting. I always was a lover of the wild and the wonderful." "We have, too," continued Charles, "some reason to believe that you are the man."
Flora tried to scream, but her tongue refused its office; a confused whirl of sensations passed through her brain she trembled, and an icy coldness came over her. It was Sir Francis Varney, the vampyre!
"No doubt no doubt; but yet " "Nay, hear me out. Such judgments, founded upon experience, when uttered have all the character of prophecy about them. I, therefore, now prophecy to you that Charles Holland will yet be so stung with horror at the circumstance of a vampyre visiting Flora, that he will never make her his wife." "Marchdale, I differ from you most completely," said Henry.
"Because something seems to whisper me that Mr. Marchdale knows more of Varney, the vampyre, than ever he has chosen to reveal. Put out the light." "Yes, yes that'll do. The moon has risen; see how it streams through the chinks of the shutters." "No, no it's not in that direction, or our light would have betrayed us.
It was not very likely that, on that evening, or for many and many an evening to come, the conversation in the parlour of the inn would be upon any other subject than that of the vampyre.

"Is it at all within the compass of the wildest belief that what we have seen is a vampyre, and no other than my ancestor who, a hundred years ago, committed suicide?"
"I'll soon let you know, you great sea crab. I want my husband; and what with your vampyre, and one thing and another, I haven't had him at home an hour for the past three weeks. What am I to do? There is all his patients getting well as fast as they can without him; and, when they find that out, do you think they will take any more filthy physic?
"I will do the best I can, as Heaven is, my judge," said the magistrate, "to produce a peaceable recall, more no man can do." "Hurrah! hurrah!" shouted the mob, "down with the Vampyre! down with the Hall!" and then one, more candid than his fellows, shouted, "Down with everything and everybody!" "Ah!" remarked the officer; "that fellow now knows what he came about."
