Jonathan Harker's Diary
COUNT DRACULA

My story began about seven years ago, in 1875. My name is Jonathan Harker, and I live and work in London. My job is to buy and sell houses for other people. One day a letter arrived for me from a very rich man who lived in Transylvania. He wanted to buy a house in England and he needed my help. The man was Count Dracula, and I agreed to help him.
I found house for him, and he asked me to take all the papers to Transylvania. I did not know then of the terrible danger waiting for me in Transylvania...
On 4th May, I arrived at a t own called Bistritz. Transylvania was a strange and beautiful country. There were mountains, trees and rivers everywhere. And somewhere high in the moutains was the Count's home, Castle Dracula. I had six hours to wait before the coach came to take me there, so I went into a little hotel. Inside the hotel it was warm and friendly. The people there were all laughing and talking.
"Where are you going?" they asked me.
"To Castle Dracula," I replied.
Suddenly the room was silent and everyone turned to look at me. I could not understand why they all looked afraid.
"Don't go there," someone said.
"But I have to," I answered. "It's business."
Slowly, the hotel keeper's wife took the gold cross from her neck and put it into my hand. "Take this to protect yourself," she said. "There is danger at Castle Dracula. Perhaps this will help you."

Adapted from Dracula by Bram Stoker
