I went into the castle and the Count
carefully looked the door behind me. He put the key into his pocket and
turned to go upstairs. I followed him, and we came to a room where a wood
fire burned brightly. In front of it there was a little table with food
and drink on it. The Count asked me to sit down and eat, but he did not
eat with me. Later, we sat and talked by the fire. His English was very
good, and while we talked, I had time to look at him carefully. His face
was very white, his ears were like the ears of a cat, and his teeth were
strong like the teeth of an animal. There was hair on his hands and his
fingers were long. When he touched me, I was afraid.
It was nearly
morning when I went to bed, and outside, the wolves were still howling.
howl
[haul] - выть;
The next morning I found
my breakfast on the little table in front of the fire. Now that it was light,
I could see that castle Dracula was old and dirty. I saw no servants all
that day.
light
[lait] - свет; servant [s:vnt]
- слуга;
The Count
did not come to breakfast, but there was a letter from him on the table.
"Go
anywhere in the castle," it said, "but some of the rooms are locked.
Do not try to go into these rooms."
When the Count came
back in the evening, he wanted to know all about his new house in England.
"Well,"
I began, "it's a very big house, old and dark, with a high wall around
it. There are trees everywhere. That's why the house is dark. It has a little
church too." And I showed him some pictures of it.
wall
[w:l] - стена; chirch [:]
- церковь;
He was pleased about
the church. "Ah," he said, "so I shall be near the dead."
dead
[ded] - мертвый;
We talked
for a long time and once I fell asleep. I woke up suddenly and found the
Count's face near me. The smell which came from him was terrible. It was
the smell of death.
which
[wi] - который; death [de] - смерть;
"You're
tired," the Count said. "Go to bed now." And when he smiled,
his face was the face of a wolf.
Our business was now
finished. The Count had all the papers for his new house, and there was
nothing to keep me in Tansylvania or in Castle Dracula, but the Count did
not want me to leave. I was alone with him in the castle, but I never saw
him in the daytime. I only saw him at night when he came and sat with me.
We always talked until the morning and he asked me many questions about
England.
keep [ki:p] - держать;
until
[n'til] - до тех пор пока
(не);
"I have plans
to go there myself soon" he said. "Tell me about sending things
to England by ship."
send
- отправлять;
So we talked about ships
and the sea, and I thought about Mina, and her friend Lucy. Lucy and her
mother were staying by the sea, and Mina was planning to visit them there
some time. Stupidly, I told the Count about them.
There was no mirror
in my bedroom, but I had one with me, a present from Mina. One morning I
was standing in front of it and I was shaving. Suddenly a hand touched me
and a voice said, "Good morning." The Count was standing next
to me. He was standing next to me, but I could not see him in the mirror!
shave - бриться;
My hand shook and I
cut myself. Blood began to run down my face and I saw that Count Dracula
was watching me hungrily. Suddenly he put out his hand. He had a wild look
in his eyes, and I was afraid. But his hand touched the gold cross at my
neck and his face changed. He took the mirror from me and threw it out of
the window. He did not speak, but left the room quickly. And I stood there,
and asked myself why I could not see this man in the mirror.
