lots of things happen in this 3 chapters. First of all , Lucy faces her biggest issue- sleepwalking, but thankfully Mina finds her before anything happen. But, the interesting thing is that of all the places to choose from, Lucy went to the church and that too on a full moon night. This is interesting because full moon is often associated with evil and it is told that all the evils are in their full potential in that night. This could be a mere coincidence or a sign of something deadly going to happen. The other thing was that Mina wrote in her journal that Jonathan wrote her and that he was sick. This is really confusing because we have heard no news of Jonathan after he attacked Count and was stuck in the castle. After that there is also the letter from Sister Agatha stating that Jonathan is in their care for six weeks. So did Jonathan succeeded from getting out of that place?
In chapter 9 Mina goes to attend Jonathan and sister Agatha tells her that Jonathan has been very sickly but couldn`t dare to say anything more. It is also hinted that Mina got married to Jonathan as she addressed herself to as Mina Harker and not Mina Murray. Dr. Steward mentions that his patient`s case has been getting more interesting. Mr. Holmwood also writes a letter to Dr. Steward stating that Lucy has been very well and it doesnt seem as if she has some illness ,but, is gradually getting weaker and weaker. in the reply to the letter, Dr.steward states that Lucy seems bloodless. This could have a literal meaning or could be a metaphor. Later, Arthur gives his blood to Lucy as she seems to be in a really critical condition. After Arthur left Dr. steward finds a mark in Lucy`s neck that seemd liked a two punctured holes. This could be the mark left by a vampire after biting its victim. But the important thing is who did it? Did the Count came to England?
