Nuances: Leisurely Read, Impatient Need

You say this vampire

tale, Dracula, was written

slowly, to be read

slowly.  I am Dracula.

Surprised?  Where do you think you

are?  And I am not

patient---oh, quite impatient:

to take you, to drain

your life into my death-in-

life, and leave you dead.

No:  it is not fair to you.
