11:40
It is not three hours since it was arranged what part each of us was to do ; and now Lord Godalming and Jonathan have a lovely steam launch , with steam up ready to start at a moment 's notice . Dr. Seward and Mr. Morris have half a dozen good horses , well appointed . We have all the maps and appliances of various kinds that can be had . Professor Van Helsing and I are to leave by the 11:40 train to-night for Veresti , where we are to get a carriage to drive to the Borgo Pass . We are bringing a good deal of ready money , as we are to buy a carriage and horses . We shall drive ourselves , for we have no one whom we can trust in the matter . The Professor knows something of a great many languages , so we shall get on all right .
