So... who drugged the sherry?

There are lots of Theories today, and I thought I'd share my own.

Long post, so I'll pop it under a cut, but in short my answer is: Dracula himself.

We'll need to step through the events in Lucy's memorandum step-by-step, but first, a couple of quick reminders about vampire powers:

This is from Jonathan's journal entry of 24 June:

I thought I would watch for the Count’s return, and for a long time sat doggedly at the window. Then I began to notice that there were some quaint little specks floating in the rays of the moonlight. They were like the tiniest grains of dust, and they whirled round and gathered in clusters in a nebulous sort of way.

[...] Louder [the howling of dogs] seemed to ring in my ears, and the floating motes of dust to take new shapes to the sound as they danced in the moonlight. I felt myself struggling to awake to some call of my instincts; [...] I was becoming hypnotised! Quicker and quicker danced the dust; the moonbeams seemed to quiver as they went by me into the mass of gloom beyond. More and more they gathered till they seemed to take dim phantom shapes. And then I started, broad awake and in full possession of my senses, and ran screaming from the place. The phantom shapes, which were becoming gradually materialised from the moonbeams, were those of the three ghostly women to whom I was doomed.

So, we know that vampires can change their form into 'specks' like dust which can float and whirl around (and hypnotise people). In order to materialise themselves again, the vampire dust has to gather together until it becomes their form.

Also, we know that from the Demeter segment and the storm in Whitby that Dracula can control the weather. This is from the Dailygraph Correspondent's article of 8 August:

The rays of the searchlight were kept fixed on the harbour mouth across the East Pier, where the shock was expected, and men waited breathless. The wind suddenly shifted to the north-east, and the remnant of the sea-fog melted in the blast; and then, mirabile dictu, between the piers, leaping from wave to wave as it rushed at headlong speed, swept the strange schooner before the blast, with all sail set, and gained the safety of the harbour.

'Mirable dictu' apparently means 'wonderful to relate'. The harbour mouth is elsewhere described as 'narrow' (and it also looks very narrow on a map and photos). So this wind suddenly coming from the exact right direction to get the boat into the harbour is, in my opinion, certainly Dracula's doing. Not only can he control the general weather, he can control individual gusts of wind.

With those two points (vampire dust swirls and wind-control powers) in mind, let's take a look at Lucy's memorandum of 17 September. I'll start from the wolf crashing through the window:

The wolf's head crashes through the window

Mrs Westenra dies of shock, pulling off Lucy's garlic is the process, and falls on top of Lucy.

Then:

I kept my eyes fixed on the window, but the wolf drew his head back, and a whole myriad of little specks seemed to come blowing in through the broken window, and wheeling and circling round like the pillar of dust that travellers describe when there is a simoon in the desert. I tried to stir, but there was some spell upon me, and dear mother’s poor body, which seemed to grow cold already—for her dear heart had ceased to beat—weighed me down; and I remembered no more for a while.

Lucy is unconscious for a while

She awakes to various sounds, including the sound of the maids outside her bedroom door, so she calls them in, and they freak out about Mrs Westenra's corpse

Then:

The wind rushed in through the broken window, and the door slammed to.

The maids move Mrs Westenra's body from on top of Lucy

Lucy directs them "to go to the dining-room and have each a glass of wine."

Then:

The door flew open for an instant and closed again. The maids shrieked, and then went in a body to the dining-room;

Lucy, who is hoping the maids will sit up with her, waits for them to come back.

When they do not, she goes in search of them. She finds that the sherry (a type of wine) has been drugged with her mother's medicine (laudanum, which is apparently very effective at inducing sleep), and the maids are unconscious.

Lucy goes back to her room with her mother's body, and makes her memorandum. The last paragraph of this begins:

The air seems full of specks, floating and circling in the draught from the window, and the lights burn blue and dim.

So from all this my conclusions are:

Dracula is the dust, which is noted in Lucy's room twice: directly after the wolf removes the window, and also right at the end of her memorandum

Dracula's using the wind to open and close the doors when he's in dust form

Dracula can therefore move around the house once he's in it

It's Dracula that drugs the wine

I'm a little unsure if a) the first slam of the door is essentially Dracula having a tantrum about being interrupted by the maids, then he hears Lucy tell them to go to the dining room, so he uses the wind to slam the door open and closed and goes down to the dining room very very quickly in order to get there, resume human form, poison the wine, and turn back to dust before the maids get there (then he gets back into Lucy's room when she's going in or out), or b) the first slam is Dracula leaving the room, he guesses that the maids will want to drink wine and goes to drug it while they are sorting out Mrs Westenra's body, and the door opening and closing by itself is him re-entering the room...

But either way, yeah, my theory is that it's Dracula himself who poisoned the wine.

#i just don't see why the door would open and close on its own otherwise #count dracula #lucy westenra #mrs westenra #dracula #dracula daily #17 september #24 june #08 august #corpse mention #drugging mention #death mention #liveblogging dracula daily #liveblog

RIP August 08

Is with a heavy heart that I inform you Ray Davon Jacobs, as known as August 08, has left us on august 26th.

He was a fantastic friend to his friends, a guide for his companions, and over all, an extremely loved person.
