Dracula by Bram Stoker

Chapter 1

JONATHAN HARKER'S JOURNAL - (Kept in shorthand)

"3 May. Bistritz.-Left Munich at 8:35 P.M., on 1st May, arriving at Vienna

early next morning; should have arrived at 6:45, 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 of it through the

streets. I feared to go very far from the station, as we 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."
