How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
In another sense […] Sanford was very lucky indeed. He had a jewel of a wife (named Maud) who was a former nurse; she had also read Dracula, and was quickly able to work out what had happened. (3.8)
When Sanford was infected, he was lucky his wife had his back. Her medical and her pop culture knowledge helped her diagnose and treat his vampirism, while she also must've provided moral support for him. Unfortunately, relationships between a mortal human and an immortal vampire usually end poorly. Maud eventually died, leaving Sanford on his own.
Quote #2
George gave in to it once. He fanged a woman named Ethel (who was later murdered by her own family) before Sanford tracked him down and stopped him. (3.11)
Wait, let's read that again: Ethel was murdered by her own family. Ugh. We don't get a lot of details about her life, but this poor woman was infected by George's bite, and then her family found out and killed her. How awful.
Quote #3
"Nina wouldn't be exposed to anyone like that. Because Nina would be sleeping at home. As usual. I wouldn't thrown out my own daughter, would I?" (5.18)
Nina's mom is pretty adamant about Nina staying at home, where she'll be safe, rather than loitering in a graveyard or some other place where shady people hang out. So even though Nina's mom can be kind of cranky sometimes, she seems to have Nina's best interests in mind.
