She fell fast asleep; and, when morning came, there was not, as far as she could judge, one of those triangular leech like perforations to be found upon her whole body. Will it be believed that the moment she was satisfied of this, she was seized by a terrible jealousy, lest Karl should have gone and bitten some one else? SHE FELL FAST ASLEEP AND WHEN MORNING CAME THERE WAS NOT AS FAR AS SHE COULD JUDGE ONE OF THOSE TRIANGULAR LEECH LIKE PERFORATIONS TO BE FOUND UPON HER WHOLE BODY WILL IT BE BELIEVED THAT THE MOMENT SHE WAS SATISFIED OF THIS SHE WAS SEIZED BY A TERRIBLE JEALOUSY LEST KARL SHOULD HAVE GONE AND BITTEN SOME ONE ELSE
mehow or other the old demon-painter must be tamed. Meantime, how fared it with Lilith? She too had no doubt that she had seen the body-ghost of poor Karl, and that the vampire had, according to rule, paid her the first visit because he loved her best. This was horrible enough if the vampire were not really the person he represented; but if in any sense it were Karl himself, at least it gave some expectation of a more prolonged existence than her father had taught her to look for; and if love anything like her mother’s still lasted, even along with the habits of a vampire, there was something to hope for in the future. And then, though he had visited her, he had not, as far as she was aware, deprived her of a drop of blood. She could not be certain that he had not bitten her, for she had been in such a strange condition of mind that she might not have felt it, but she believed that he had restrained the impulses of his vampire nature, and had left her, lest he should yet yield to them. IVE AT WAS THAT SOMEHOW OR OTHER THE OLD DEMON PAINTER MUST BE TAMED MEANTIME HOW FARED IT WITH LILITH SHE TOO HAD NO DOUBT THAT SHE HAD SEEN THE BODY GHOST OF POOR KARL AND THAT THE VAMPIRE HAD ACCORDING TO RULE PAID HER THE FIRST VISIT BECAUSE HE LOVED HER BEST THIS WAS HORRIBLE ENOUGH IF THE VAMPIRE WERE NOT REALLY THE PERSON HE REPRESENTED BUT IF IN ANY SENSE IT WERE KARL HIMSELF AT LEAST IT GAVE SOME EXPECTATION OF A MORE PROLONGED EXISTENCE THAN HER FATHER HAD TAUGHT HER TO LOOK FOR AND IF LOVE ANYTHING LIKE HER MOTHER'S STILL LASTED EVEN ALONG WITH THE HABITS OF A VAMPIRE THEN THERE WAS SOMETHING TO HOPE FOR IN THE FUTURE AND THEN THOUGH HE HAD VISITED HER HE HAD NOT AS FAR AS SHE WAS AWARE DEPRIVED HER OF A DROP OF BLOOD SHE COULD NOT BE CERTAIN THAT HE HAD NOT BITTEN HER FOR SHE HAD BEEN IN SUCH A STRANGE CONDITION OF MIND THAT SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE FELT IT BUT SHE BELIEVED THAT HE HAD RESTRAINED THE IMPULSES OF HIS VAMPIRE NATURE AND HAD LEFT HER LEST HE SHOULD YET YIELD TO THEM
