Extrait du quatrième texte
Last night Victor and I were alone. We talked of many things and I reminded him of the strange incident of the "monster" that had occurred to him several years past. He said he had had only one further communication from the creature. He then mentioned a letter that he received on the eve of the "Monster" departing back in time with the aid of a Doctor Faustus or Festus.
"Surely, it's a joke, Victor," I said.
"He seemed very sincere to me," he replied.
"Did you ever hear from him after that?"
"No - he must have got stuck in 1481 - if he ever made it. I wish I could know more; the story has a strange fascination for me."
I suggested that, perhaps, we could channel back in time. At first, Victor was skeptical - then I told him I myself had attempted it and with a dream-like result. At that point, he became very agitated.
"You say you were there, with Quasimodo, on the roof of Notre-Dame and that he was just about to hurl himself off the roof to his death when-?"
"When Dracula appeared."
"Dracula. Is it possible?"
"Do you know who this Dracula is?"
"Dracula - is a vampire."
"A vampire! That would explain his ability to fly and revive the dead."
"So he turned Esmeralda and Quasimodo into vampires?"
"Yes - happy little vampires. Well, why not? Dracula needed servants and Quasimodo was very loyal. Esmeralda was dead anyway, and Quasimodo loved her. Yes. He's made them undead - but for them at least, it would have been better than death. Yes, yes - I see it..."
Victor had become very agitated and began pacing back and forth.
"I'd really like to know what happened when Frankenstein got there."
"That would certainly be interesting."
"Look here, Dumas, if you know how to do this thing - would you? Could you?"
