When he comes to-morrow I shall ask him about Jonathan ; and then , please God , all this sorrow and anxiety may lead to a good end . I used to think I would like to practise interviewing ; Jonathan 's friend on `` The Exeter News '' told him that memory was everything in such work -- that you must be able to put down exactly almost every word spoken , even if you had to refine some of it afterwards .

In a few minutes Mary opened the door , and announced `` Dr. Van Helsing . '' I rose and bowed , and he came towards me ; a man of medium weight , strongly built , with his shoulders set back over a broad , deep chest and a neck well balanced on the trunk as the head is on the neck .
