to light. Shelley stands by the window, watchingthe storm. BYRON sits in an armchair, idlyflipping through a copy of "Fantasmagoriana". Maryand CLAIRE sit side by side on a chaise. POLIDORI

stands before the group, clutching a handful ofpapers. Inspired by the thunderstorm and the flashof lightning, Shelley exclaims:

SHELLEY (cont"d)"I sing of Chaos and Eternal Night

Taught by the heavn"ly Muse to venture down

The dark descent, and up to reascend - "

MARY

SHELLEYWhat?

CLAIRE

BYRON(To Shelley.)Milton?

SHELLEY

Who else?

MARYDo go on, doctor.

POLIDORI

"Aubrey"s weakness increased; the effusion of bloodproduced symptoms of the near approach of death. Hedesired his sister"s guardians might be called, andwhen the midnight hour had struck, he related

composedly what the reader had perused - he diedimmediately after. The guardians hastened to protectMiss Aubrey; but when they arrived, it was too late."

CLAIREOh no!

POLIDORI

"Lord Ruthven had disappeared, and Aubrey"s sister hadglutted the thirst... of a Vampyre!" 3. BYRONquotesdbs_dbs7.pdfusesText_5
