Dear Madam Mina, -

I have read your husband's so wonderful diary. You may sleep without doubt. Strange and terrible as it is, it is true! I will pledge my life on it.

Heya Mina~
WONDERFUL news! Your hubby's not crazy, or sick! And that guy he freaked out on at the Piccadilly? He's a blood-sucking fiendish freak of nature hellbent on unleashing his unholy minions upon the innocents of London.
He didn't imagine any of it! Isn't that a relief??
I thought I'd let you know, since you were concerned about your man.
Not to worry, he's just fine! Lucy however....
Anywho, see you tomorrow!

xoxo,A.V.H.

Just that I was thinking! (but you phrased it so much better.) Poor Mina, to recive such a letter....

It's like you want the good news, or the bad news?
Good news: Jonathan is not crazy.
Bad news: Dracula is real and he is going to destroy us all.

Hmmmm, yeah.

I think it's the cheerful, matter-of-tact tone that does it. I pity his regular patients, I really do. "Good news, mr. Van Der Got! You are not suffering of a common cold, as you thought. Instead, I've discovered a certainly lethal cancer!."

In a way, this reminds me of work. (Bear with me here.) I work for three oral pathologists in a big university dental school. They're nice guys and good clinical doctors who like it when patients are NOT terribly ill with anything. At the same time, they're scientists who like a challenge and who like having their opinions confirmed on difficult cases.

As such, I sometimes hear odd phrases like " a good cancer," used in the same way that a newspaper reporter might talk about "a good murder."

Likewise, my mother recently recieved a liver transplant for a malady that technically she shouldn't have had. The doctors loved her. They told her regularly that she was the most interesting person they knew. It got to the point where she threatened them with some eyewatering physical punishments if they ever said the word, 'interesting' in her hearing ever again.
