I'm sure others have pointed it out already, but in the May 5th entry, the "The dead travel fast" quote is from the German ballad Lenore. In which the lovesick heroine, Lenore, rides with -unbeknownst to her- Death.

He is in disguise and tricks her into riding with him to her grave (instead of her marriage bed as promised).

A lot like Dracula disguising himself as a coachman to lead Jonathan to his doom. Dracula himself grins widely upon hearing the quote.

And Lenore's fiance is called Wilhelm. Jonathan's is called Wilhelmina aka Mina.
