Note

[j_harker1897]

Seven years ago we all went through the flames; and the happiness of some of us since then is, we think, well worth the pain we endured. It is an added joy to Mina and to me that our boy's birthday is the same day as that on which Quincey Morris died. His mother holds, I know, the secret belief that some of our brave friend's spirit has passed

This *was* fun, but I ask everyone to consider--Why does Jonathan get the final word, and the (implied) control over the text?! Why not Mina? She did most of the work, dagnabbit!

I think it's fair; it began with him, and it ends with him. If not for Jonathan's little jaunt to Transylvania, none of this would have happened, so it makes sense, for closure purposes, to finish with him. Stoker shows Mina's importance by having her write up Dracula's death, and by finishing on words about her.

Add me to those chiming my thanks to our mods. This has been a wonderful read. I look forward to the next novel you are putting online. How do we make sure we're added for that community?

They'll be advertised here. Carmilla will start soon over in gothic_lit, tomorrow if I can find a suitable icon, and if we can get it working, Clarissa will start in January. Glad you've enjoyed it!

This has been so much fun. It was very nice to read people's thoughts all the way, giving their comments, and pointing out things I haven't noticed myself. Thankyou very much!

Yes, thanks to all involved for doing the work that made this on-line reading possible. Very interesting way to read a book.
