"I have never met a more perfect a name on the heraldic mark't. Your father, my children, can undarstand the substance of a form, the pulp of the fruit, by the peel that covers it. There are wine tasters and name tasters. Yes, Dracula. Just the right amount of Orient and Occident, of a reality and farntasy. If I were not too afraid of making literature or rhetoric out of it, I might add that it has borrowed some ingredient from the Count of Monte Cristo, or even Sinbad the Sailor."
