Presently we both began to be conscious that the heatwas beginning to be of some effect. Lucy’s heart beat a triflemore audibly to the stethoscope, and her lungs had a perceptiblemovement. Van Helsing’s face almost beamed, andas we lifted her from the bath and rolled her in a hot sheetto dry her he said to me, ‘The first gain is ours! Check tothe King!’We took Lucy into another room, which had by nowbeen prepared, and laid her in bed and forced a few dropsof brandy down her throat. I noticed that Van Helsing tieda soft silk handkerchief round her throat. She was still unconscious,and was quite as bad as, if not worse than, wehad ever seen her.Van Helsing called in one of the women, and told herto stay with her and not to take her eyes off her till we returned,and then beckoned me out of the room.‘We must consult as to what is to be done,’ he said as wedescended the stairs. In the hall he opened the dining roomdoor, and we passed in, he closing the door carefully behindhim. The shutters had been opened, but the blinds were alreadydown, with that obedience to the etiquette of deathwhich the British woman of the lower classes always rigidlyobserves. The room was, therefore, dimly dark. It was, however,light enough for our purposes. Van Helsing’s sternnesswas somewhat relieved by a look of perplexity. He was evidentlytorturing his mind about something, so I waited foran instant, and he spoke.‘What are we to do now? Where are we to turn for help?We must have another transfusion of blood, and that soon,
or that poor girl’s life won’t be worth an hour’s purchase.You are exhausted already. I am exhausted too. I fear totrust those women, even if they would have courage to submit.What are we to do for some one who will open his veinsfor her?’‘What’s the matter with me, anyhow?’The voice came from the sofa across the room, and itstones brought relief and joy to my heart, for they were thoseof Quincey Morris.Van Helsing started angrily at the first sound, but hisface softened and a glad look came into his eyes as I criedout, ‘Quincey Morris!’ and rushed towards him with outstretchedhands.‘What brought you here?’ I cried as our hands met.‘I guess Art is the cause.’He handed me a telegram.—‘Have not heard from Sewardfor three days, and am terribly anxious. Cannot leave. Fatherstill in same condition. Send me word how Lucy is. Donot delay.—Holmwood.’‘I think I came just in the nick of time. You know youhave only to tell me what to do.’Van Helsing strode forward, and took his hand, lookinghim straight in the eyes as he said, ‘A brave man’s bloodis the best thing on this earth when a woman is in trouble.You’re a man and no mistake. Well, the devil may workagainst us for all he’s worth, but God sends us men whenwe want them.’Once again we went through that ghastly operation. Ihave not the heart to go through with the details.
