Just Fancy

Reading DRACULA. It's not on my scary story syllabus, I'm just reading it. No owls yet, which is surprising. My fave sentence so far: "He is only nine-and-twenty, and he has an immense lunatic asylum all under his own care." But really you need the sentence before it, too: "Just fancy! He is only nine-and-twenty, and he has an immense lunatic asylum all under his own care." That same character is described on the next page as "Dr. John Seward, the lunatic-asylum man, with the strong jaw and the good forehead."
