David Robertson has returned to Douglas in 1791, and gives us a description of the town and its inhabitants, before taking us a little further afield. However, there are tensions and difficulties as well as beauties and pleasure. In an episode from our translation into the Manx Gaelic of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula', Arthur Holmwood has given blood to save the life of his fiance, Lucy Westenra. As he is about to leave, Professor Van Helsing has another thought to share with him. The Professor sets Dr John Seward to keep close watch while Lucy sleeps.
