1 There was a fearful scream which almost froze our hearts to hear.
2 For an instant my heart stood still, and I would have screamed out, only that I was paralysed.
3 Presently the horses began to scream, and tore at their tethers till I came to them and quieted them.
4 And then I started, broad awake and in full possession of my senses, and ran screaming from the place.
5 I called to them, and they came in, and when they saw what had happened, and what it was that lay over me on the bed, they screamed out.
6 At last there came a time when the driver went further afield than he had yet gone, and during his absence, the horses began to tremble worse than ever and to snort and scream with fright.
7 The attendant tells me that his screams whilst in the paroxysm were really appalling; I found my hands full when I got in, attending to some of the other patients who were frightened by him.
8 But the words to her thought came quickly; the echo of the scream had not ceased to ring on the air when there came the reaction, and she sank on her knees on the floor in an agony of abasement.
9 Van Helsing, Art, and I moved forward to Mrs. Harker, who by this time had drawn her breath and with it had given a scream so wild, so ear-piercing, so despairing that it seems to me now that it will ring in my ears till my dying day.
