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.

Well, I don't know that I'd call an account of nearly being killed by vampires wonderful per se, but I guess he's just excited because he's finally got Dracula's identity.

Well that and from what he can tell, Jonathan somehow survived not getting made into a vamp, himself.

[stokerbramwell]

True, I suppose that whole "not getting killed" thing would be considered pretty good.

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....

[saraphina_marie]

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.

[chigrima]

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!."

Wonderful as in full of wonders and things seemingly unbelievable.

Not that I don't appreciate poking fun at the language difference... ^.^;

Note the way he tactfully focuses on Jonathan's Manly Daring in going down to That Room twice. I shall have much to ask him of other things.

"So, Jonty boy, those vampire babes. Tell me all about it. Begin with what they are wearing - ah, you do not know what may be of significance in our fight against the Undead! - and proceed to describe exactly what they did to you. And where."

[ninja_jen]

You= "teh awesome"

Which if he found out that one of them bore an eerie resemblance to Monica Bellucci, hell, I'd be asking.

"Show me on the doll where the lady vampire touched you"

This is late, but that really made me laugh!
