1I shall be glad as long as I live that even in that moment of final dissolution, there was in the face a look of peace,
2such as I never could have imagined might have rested there. The Castle of Dracula now stood out against the red sky,
3and every stone of its broken battlements was articulated against the light of the setting sun. The gypsies, taking us
4as in some way the cause of the extraordinary disappearance of the dead man, turned, without a word, and rode away as if
5for their lives. Those who were unmounted jumped upon the leiter-wagon and shouted to the horsemen not to desert them.
6The wolves, which had withdrawn to a safe distance, followed in their wake, leaving us alone. Mr. Morris, who had sunk
7to the ground, leaned on his elbow, holding his hand pressed to his side; the blood still gushed through his fingers. I
8flew to him, for the Holy circle did not now keep me back; so did the two doctors. Jonathan knelt behind him and the
9wounded man laid back his head on his shoulder. With a sigh he took, with a feeble effort, my hand in that of his own
10which was unstained. He must have seen the anguish of my heart in my face, for he smiled at me and said:-- "I am only
11too happy to have been of any service! Oh, God!" he cried suddenly, struggling up to a sitting posture and pointing to
12me, "It was worth for this to die! Look! look!" The sun was now right down upon the mountain top, and the red gleams
13fell upon my face, so that it was bathed in rosy light. With one impulse the men sank on their knees and a deep and
14earnest "Amen" broke from all as their eyes followed the pointing of his finger. The dying man spoke:-- "Now God be
15thanked that all has not been in vain! See! the snow is not more stainless than her forehead! The curse has passed
16away!" And, to our bitter grief, with a smile and in silence, he died, a gallant gentleman. NOTE Seven years ago we all
17went through the flames; and the happiness of some of us since then is, we think, well worth the pain we endured. It is
18an 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
19holds, I know, the secret belief that some of our brave friend's spirit has passed into him. His bundle of names links
20all our little band of men together; but we call him Quincey. In the summer of this year we made a journey to
21Transylvania, and went over the old ground which was, and is, to us so full of vivid and terrible memories. It was
22almost impossible to believe that the things which we had seen with our own eyes and heard with our own ears were living
23truths. Every trace of all that had been was blotted out. The castle stood as before, reared high above a waste of
24desolation. When we got home we were talking of the old time--which we could all look back on without despair, for
25Godalming and Seward are both happily married. I took the papers from the safe where they had been ever since our return
26so long ago. We were struck with the fact, that in all the mass of material of which the record is composed, there is
27hardly one authentic document; nothing but a mass of typewriting, except the later note-books of Mina and Seward and
28myself, and Van Helsing's memorandum. We could hardly ask any one, even did we wish to, to accept these as proofs of so
29wild a story. Van Helsing summed it all up as he said, with our boy on his knee:-- "We want no proofs; we ask none to
30believe us! This boy will some day know what a brave and gallant woman his mother is. Already he knows her sweetness and
31loving care; later on he will understand how some men so loved her, that they did dare much for her sake." JONATHAN
