The Vampire Lovers Page #3

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

I wish it weren't necessary for me

to go to Vienna today

but you'll let me know how she is?

Naturally.

Why don't you call in the doctor?

A tonic would do her good.

I'm sure it's just nerves.

- I can leave her safely with you.

- Of course.

I will take care of Emma.

As though she were my own sister.

I'll see how she is before I go.

I'll come with you.

No, thank you. I'm not hungry.

Good to see you, sir.

How's Emma?

Not too well, just recently.

A bit upset, I think, about Laura.

I'm just off on a business trip to Vienna.

Would you be able to go and see her while

I'm away?

Yes, of course, sir. If I can.

I know you're busy but do try.

Sometime this week.

- I will, sir.

- I must get on.

She has a young friend staying with her.

So there you are, two pretty girls to visit.

Perhaps you'll feel stronger soon.

I hope I shall be recovered

when my father gets back.

Of course you will.

It's nothing, you mustn't worry about it.

I try not to

but I keep having these awful dreams.

It happened again last night.

I saw...

Now, Emma,

you mustn't allow yourself to be terrorized

by your own imagination.

I suppose it was the cat again.

Yes.

But Mademoiselle Perrodot,

I must tell you,

if I don't see these things,

then I'm going mad!

You mustn't talk like that.

It was probably only poor Gustav again.

Yes, it's just my imagination.

Of course it is.

Now, sit still and get some rest.

It's just that your mind is overactive, that's

all.

"Pulling her gently towards him,

"he showered her sweet, upturned face

with manly kisses."

This is a silly book.

But it's a lovely story.

Wouldn't you like to meet

a handsome young man?

No. Neither do you, I hope.

I'd like to see one.

I wish Carl would come again.

- He is very handsome.

- Who?

Carl Ebhardt.

He manages General Spielsdorf's estate.

- Do you know the General?

- No.

His niece was my best friend.

And then she died.

You chat on

like an old peasant woman sometimes!

Always of death and tragedy.

Carmilla, you are unkind.

You know how it upsets me.

I'm sorry.

- Forgive me?

- No. Forgive me.

I shouldn't snap at you like that.

You're so sensitive.

Only about some things.

- And about you.

- Silly! Why about me?

Because I love you!

I don't want anyone

taking you away from me.

Taking me away?

Who do you mean?

You know we'll always be friends.

Surely you don't mean

my handsome young man?

I do believe you're jealous!

Why should I not be?

Why? Because it's not the same thing.

It's different.

I want you to love me for all your life!

Come along.

That's enough chatter for tonight.

Good night, Emma.
