After Jonathan Harker arrived at the hotel, the landlady gave him a
letter from Count Dracula. The following day, Jonathan left on a coach
for Borgo Pass, where Dracula’s coach would meet him and take him
to the castle. The ride to the castle was very enjoyable, and Jonathan
saw a strange blue flame and heard the sound of many wolves. When
Jonathan arrived at the castle, Dracula met him at the door, took his
bags, and led him to a room where supper was waiting for him. Dracula
drank wine and later said that the sound of wolves was like beautiful
music.
