A very young, serious looking man trips in, awkwardly.
"Ah... hello there. I hope my presence does not offend. I am Victor Frankenstein, studying to be Dr. Victor Frankenstein. I know I look very young, really I am only 18. It is nice to meet so many new people."
A pause.
"I am terribly sorry. You must forgive my accent. I am a native of Switzerland and English has come to me but recently. My home is now in Ingolstadt, Germany, where I attend a university. I have been there for some months and am very lonely, missing my dearest friend Henry Clerval, my esteemed father, my younger brother William and my beautiful 'cousin' and fiancee, Elizabeth. My mother has very recently died as well."
A longer pause.
"So you see I would like very much to make new friends and distract me from my sadness." He stops to look around. "What a picturesque spot... I wonder where we are?"
Typist: Victor Frankenstein from Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. Good, he's gone now. I can admit that I have a very unprofessional crush on him.
