Most young girls would never at all have recovered the fearful shock to the nerves." "Not only has she recovered," said Henry, "but a spirit, which I am rejoiced to see, because it is one which will uphold her, of resistance now possesses her." "Yes, she actually--I forgot to tell you before--but she actually asked me for arms to resist any second visitation." "You much surprise me." "Yes, I was surprised, as well as pleased, myself." "I would have left her one of my pistols had I been aware of her having made such a request.

Do you know if she can use fire-arms ?" "Oh, yes; well." "What a pity.

I have them both with me." "Oh, she is provided." "Provided ?" "Yes; I found some pistols which I used to take with me on the continent, and she has them both well loaded, so that if the vampyre makes his appearance, he is likely to meet with rather a warm reception." "Good God! was it not dangerous ?" "Not at all, I think." "Well, you know best, certainly, of course.

I hope the vampyre may come, and that we may have the pleasure, when we return, of finding him dead.

"It is Mr.Chillingworth," said Henry.
"Hilloa," cried the worthy doctor again.
