six o'clock
The rest of us have already read everything ; so when we meet in the study we shall all be informed as to facts , and can arrange our plan of battle with this terrible and mysterious enemy . _ Mina Harker 's Journal . _ _ 30 September . _ -- When we met in Dr. Seward 's study two hours after dinner , which had been at six o'clock , we unconsciously formed a sort of board or committee . Professor Van Helsing took the head of the table , to which Dr. Seward motioned him as he came into the room . He made me sit next to him on his right , and asked me to act as secretary ; Jonathan sat next to me . Opposite us were Lord Godalming , Dr. Seward , and Mr. Morris -- Lord Godalming being next the Professor , and Dr. Seward in the centre .
