CHAPTER 21 - Dr. Seward's Diary, part 10

It interested me, even at that moment, to see that whilst the face of white set passion worked convulsively over the bowed head, the hands tenderly and lovingly stroked the ruffled hair. Just as I had finished, Quincey and Godalming knocked at the door. They entered in obedience to our summons. Van Helsing looked at me questioningly. I understood him to mean if we were to take advantage of their coming to divert if possible the thoughts of the unhappy husband and wife from each other and from themselves. So on nodding acquiescence to him he asked them what they had seen or done. To which Lord Godalming answered.

"I could not see him anywhere in the passage, or in any of our rooms. I looked in the study but, though he had been there, he had gone. He had, however . " He stopped suddenly, looking at the poor drooping figure on the bed. Van Helsing said gravely, "Go on, friend Arthur. We want here no more concealments. Our hope now is in knowing all. Tell freely!" So Art went on, "He had been there, and though it could only have been for a few seconds, he made rare hay of the place. All the manuscript

had been burned, and the blue flames were flickering amongst the white ashes. The cylinders of your phonograph too were thrown on the fire, and the wax had helped the flames." Here I interrupted. "Thank God there is the other copy in the safe!" His face lit for a moment, but fell again as he went on. "I ran downstairs then, but could see no sign of him. I looked into Renfield's room, but there was no trace there except . " Again he paused. "Go on," said Harker hoarsely. So he bowed his head and moistening his lips with his tongue, added, "except that the poor fellow is dead." Mrs. Harker raised her head, looking from one to the other of us she said solemnly, "God's will be done!" I could not but feel that Art was keeping back something. But, as I took it that it was with a purpose, I said nothing.

Van Helsing turned to Morris and asked, "And you, friend Quincey, have you any to tell?" "A little," he answered. "It may be much eventually, but at present I can't say. I thought it well to know if possible where the Count would go when he left the house. I did not see him, but I saw a bat rise from Renfield's window, and flap westward. I expected to see him in some shape go back to Carfax, but he evidently sought some other lair. He will not be back tonight, for the sky is reddening in the east, and the dawn is close. We must work tomorrow!"

Interessava-me, mesmo naquele momento, ver que, enquanto o rosto de paixão branca se debruçava convulsivamente sobre a cabeça inclinada, as mãos acariciavam com ternura e amor os cabelos despenteados. O anda bile, beyaz tutku yüzünün eğilmiş başın üzerinde sarsıcı bir şekilde çalışırken, ellerin yumuşak ve sevgiyle fırfırlı saçları okşadığını görmek beni ilgilendirdi. Just as I had finished, Quincey and Godalming knocked at the door. Assim que terminei, Quincey e Godalming bateram à porta.

"I could not see him anywhere in the passage, or in any of our rooms. "Não o vi em lado nenhum da passagem, nem em nenhum dos nossos quartos.

"Go on," said Harker hoarsely. ||||"Adelante," dijo Harker con voz ronca. "Continua", disse Harker roucamente.

Não pude deixar de sentir que Art estava a esconder alguma coisa. Art'ın bir şeyi sakladığını hissedemedim ama. But, as I took it that it was with a purpose, I said nothing. Mas, como percebi que era com um objetivo, não disse nada.

Van Helsing turned to Morris and asked, "And you, friend Quincey, have you any to tell?" Van Helsing virou-se para Morris e perguntou: "E tu, amigo Quincey, tens alguma coisa para contar?"
