[The Lair of the White Worm by Bram Stoker]@TWC D-Link bookThe Lair of the White Worm CHAPTER II--THE CASWALLS OF CASTRA REGIS 17/17
With such strange compelling qualities, is it any wonder that there is abroad an idea that in the race there is some demoniac possession, which tends to a more definite belief that certain individuals have in the past sold themselves to the Devil? "But I think we had better go to bed now.

Moreover, I want you to come with me for an early walk, during which we may notice, whilst the matter is fresh in our minds, the peculiar disposition of this place--not merely your grand-uncle's estate, but the lie of the country around it.
There are many things on which we may seek--and perhaps find--enlightenment.
The more we know at the start, the more things which may come into our view will develop themselves.".
