Heinrich was quite sure that his suspicions were correct. And now the question was, what was to be done next? "At all events," said Heinrich, "we must keep you out of the way for some time.

the door was cautiously opened. “Why, Lottchen, where do you come from?” “From the grave, Heinrich, or next door to it.” “Come in, and tell me all about it. We thought the old painter had made a model of you, and tortured you to death.” “Perhaps you were not far wrong. But get me a horn of ale, for even a vampire is thirsty, you know.” “A vampire!” exclaimed Heinrich, retreating a pace, and involuntarily putting himself upon his guard. Karl laughed. “My hand was warm, was it not, old fellow?” he said. “Vampires are cold, all but the blood.” “What a fool I am!” rejoined Heinrich. “But you know we have been hearing such horrors lately that a fellow may be excused for shuddering a little when a pale-faced apparition tells him at two o’clock in the morning that he is a vampire, and thirsty, too.” Karl told him the whole story; and the mental process of regarding it for the sake of telling it, revealed to him pretty clearly some of the treatment of which he had been unconscious at the time.
