Here is an important letter from Transylvania. The Count wishes to buy a house in our city.
It’s a good opportunity for you. The Count is rich, and free with his money.
You will have a marvelous journey.
And, young as you are, what matter if it costs you some pain – or even a little blood?
The house facing yours … that should suit him. Leave at once, my young friend. And don’t be frightened if people speak of Transylvania as the land of
phantoms.
