Chapter 3 Renfields Pets Letter from Lucy Westonr to Meena Murray, the 24th of May.
-
Thank you and thank you again for your lovely letter.
-
Now, I have more news for you.
-
Today has been a fantastic day.
-
Three men asked me to marry them.
-
Yes, three.
-
And all on the same day.
-
I feel very sorry for two of them.
-
Meena, I'm so happy.
-
Please don't tell anyone but of course you can tell Jonathan.
-
Number one was Dr. John Seward.
-
A few months ago, Arthur introduced me to him.
-
He's very clever and very interesting.
-
He's only 29 years old and he's already an important doctor.
-
He's the head doctor in a psychiatric hospital.
-
I like him very much but I don't love him.
-
We have decided to stay friends.
-
Number two came just after lunch.
-
He's a man from Texas.
-
His name's Mr. Quincy P. Morris.
-
He's a very nice man.
-
He's also a friend of Arthur's.
-
But I'm sorry.
-
I said no to him too.
-
He was sad but very kind.
-
Then came number three.
-
I don't need to tell you about him.
-
Yes, Meena, it's Arthur.
-
Arthur wants to marry me.
-
I'm so happy.
-
I hope he will still be friends with John and Quincy.
-
They're all very nice men.
-
I don't want him to lose his friends but Meena, I'm so so happy.
-
Love Lucy.
-
Dr. John Seward's diary recorded on phonograph, the 25th of May.
-
I'm sad today.
-
Yesterday I asked Lucy to marry me.
-
She said no.
-
I have decided to think about my work.
-
That usually helps.
-
So I went to see some of the patients.
-
There's one patient who's very interesting: Name - R. M. Renfield, Age - 59.
-
Sometimes calm.
-
Sometimes angry.
-
Sometimes depressed.
-
Very, very strong.
-
Possibly dangerous.
-
I must talk to him more.
-
I want to find out more about him.
