Dracula
3
May
.
Bistritz
.
--
Left
Munich
at
8:35
P.
M.
,
on
1st
May
,
arriving
at
Vienna
early
next
morning
;
should
have
arrived
at
6:46
,
but
train
was
an
hour
late
.
Buda-Pesth
seems
a
wonderful
place
,
from
the
glimpse
which
I
got
of
it
from
the
train
and
the
little
I
could
walk
through
the
streets
.
I
feared
to
go
very
far
from
the
station
,
as
we
had
arrived
late
and
would
start
as
near
the
correct
time
as
possible
.
The
impression
I
had
was
that
we
were
leaving
the
West
and
entering
the
East
;
the
most
western
of
splendid
bridges
over
the
Danube
,
which
is
here
of
noble
width
and
depth
,
took
us
among
the
traditions
of
Turkish
rule
.
We
left
in
pretty
good
time
,
and
came
after
nightfall
to
Klausenburgh
.
Here
I
stopped
for
the
night
at
the
Hotel
Royale
.
I
had
for
dinner
,
or
rather
supper
,
a
chicken
done
up
some
way
with
red
pepper
,
which
was
very
good
but
thirsty
.

Mina

)
I
asked
the
waiter
,
and
he
said
it
was
called
"
paprika
hendl
,
"
and
that
,
as
it
was
a
national
dish
,
I
should
be
able
to
get
it
anywhere
along
the
Carpathians
.
I
found
my
smattering
of
German
very
useful
here
,
indeed
,
I
do
n't
know
how
I
should
be
able
to
get
on
without
it
.
Having
had
some
time
at
my
disposal
when
in
London
,
I
had
visited
the
British
Museum
,
and
made
search
among
the
books
and
maps
in
the
library
regarding
Transylvania
;
it
had
struck
me
that
some
foreknowledge
of
the
country
could
hardly
fail
to
have
some
importance
in
dealing
with
a
nobleman
of
that
country
.
I
find
that
the
district
he
named
is
in
the
extreme
east
of
the
country
,
just
on
the
borders
of
three
states
,
Transylvania
,
Moldavia
,
and
Bukovina
,
in
the
midst
of
the
Carpathian
mountains
;
one
of
the
wildest
and
least
known
portions
of
Europe
.
I
was
not
able
to
light
on
any
map
or
work
giving
the
exact
locality
of
the
Castle
Dracula
,
as
there
are
no
maps
of
this
country
as
yet
to
compare
with
our
own
Ordance
Survey
Maps
;
but
I
found
that
Bistritz
,
the
post
town
named
by
Count
Dracula
,
is
a
fairly
well-known
place
.
I
shall
enter
here
some
of
my
notes
,
as
they
may
refresh
my
memory
when
I
talk
over
my
travels
with
Mina
.
In
the
population
of
Transylvania
there
are
four
distinct
nationalities
:
Saxons
in
the
South
,
and
mixed
with
them
the
Wallachs
,
who
are
the
descendants
of
the
Dacians
;
Magyars
in
the
West
,
and
Szekelys
in
the
East
and
North
.
I
am
going
among
the
latter
,
who
claim
to
be
descended
from
Attila
and
the
Huns
.
This
may
be
so
,
for
when
the
Magyars
conquered
the
country
in
the
eleventh
century
they
found
the
Huns
settled
in
it
.
I
read
that
every
known
superstition
in
the
world
is
gathered
into
the
horseshoe
of
the
Carpathians
,
as
if
it
were
the
centre
of
some
sort
of
imaginative
whirlpool
;
if
so
my
stay
may
be
very
interesting
.
(
Mem.
,
I
must
ask
the
Count
all
about
them
.
)
I
did
not
sleep
well
,
though
my
bed
was
comfortable
enough
,
for
I
had
all
sorts
of
queer
dreams
.
There
was
a
dog
howling
all
night
under
my
window
,
which
may
have
had
something
to
do
with
it
;
or
it
may
have
been
the
paprika
,
for
I
had
to
drink
up
all
the
water
in
my
carafe
,
and
was
still
thirsty
.
Towards
morning
I
slept
and
was
wakened
by
the
continuous
knocking
at
my
door
,
so
I
guess
I
must
have
been
sleeping
soundly
then
.
