The moon was shining clear, and in its light the painter saw, to his horror, the pale face staring in at his window. He thought it had been there ever since he had fainted, and dropped again in a deeper swoon than before. Karl saw him fall, and the truth flashed upon him that the wicked artist took him for what he had believed himself to be when first he recovered from his trance  namely, the vampire of the former Karl Wolkenlicht. THE MOON WAS SHINING CLEAR AND IN ITS LIGHT THE PAINTER SAW TO HIS HORROR THE PALE FACE STARING IN AT HIS WINDOW HE THOUGHT IT HAD BEEN THERE EVER SINCE HE HAD FAINTED AND DROPPED AGAIN IN A DEEPER SWOON THAN BEFORE KARL SAW HIM FALL AND THE TRUTH FLASHED UPON HIM THAT THE WICKED ARTIST TOOK HIM FOR WHAT HE HAD BELIEVED HIMSELF TO BE WHEN HE FIRST RECOVERED FROM HIS TRANCE NAMELY THE VAMPIRE OF THE FORMER KARL WOLKENLICHT

Peeping through a window he was passing, to see whether it belonged to his room, he spied Teufelsbürst, who, at the very moment, was lifting his head from the faint into which he had fallen at the first sight of Lottchen. HER FACE MADE HIM DOUBT WHETHER HE COULD BE A VAMPIRE AFTER ALL FOR INSTEAD OF WANTING TO BITE HER ARM AND SUCK THE BLOOD HE ALL BUT FELL DOWN AT HER FEET IN A PASSION OF SPEECHLESS LOVE THE NEXT MOMENT HE BECAME AWARE THAT HIS PRESENCE MUST BE AT LEAST VERY UNDESIRABLE TO HER AND IN AN INSTANT HE HAD REACHED HER WINDOW WHICH HE KNEW LOOKED UPON THE LOWER ROOF THAT EXTENDED BETWEEN THE TWO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE HOUSE AND BEFORE THE NEXT FLASH CAME HE HAD STEPPED THROUGH THE LATTICE AND CLOSED IT BEHIND HIM BELIEVING HIS OWN ROOM TO BE ATTAINABLE FROM THIS QUARTER HE PROCEEDED ALONG THE ROOF IN THE DIRECTION HE JUDGED BEST THE COLD WINTER AIR BY DEGREES RESTORED HIM ENTIRELY TO HIS RIGHT MIND AND HE SOON COMPREHENDED THE WHOLE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH HE FOUND HIMSELF PEEPING THROUGH A WINDOW HE WAS PASSING TO SEE WHETHER IT BELONGED TO HIS ROOM HE SPIED TEUFELSBUERST WHO AT THE VERY MOMENT WAS LIFTING HIS HEAD FROM THE FAINT INTO WHICH HE HAD FALLEN AT THE FIRST SIGHT OF LOTTCHEN
