I am encompassed about with terrors that I dare not think of.
15 May .-- Once more I have seen the count go out in his lizard fashion.
He moved downwards in a sidelong way, some hundred feet down, and a good deal to the left.

He vanished into some hole or window.

When his head had disappeared, I leaned out to try and see more, but without avail.

The distance was too great to allow a proper angle of sight.

I knew he had left the castle now, and thought to use the opportunity to explore more than I had dared to do as yet.
