Chapter 11: Well, it all seems to be going so well, until Dr. Seward and Van Helsing find out that Mrs. Westenra removed all of the garlic flowers from Lucy's room and opened up her window, which is exactly what Van Helsing told Lucy not to do, but neglected to tell Mrs. Westenra for fear of causing her undo stress. I feel bad for all of them, since they're all trying to do what's best for Lucy. This time it's good old Van Helsing that has to give Lucy the blood transfusion. I guess that Dr. Seward hasn't figured out that Lucy's being attacked by a vampire because he's so science-minded and would have trouble believing myths and legends. That's so unfortunate at the end of the chapter that there was a fatal miscommunication! That would have been so terrifying to be in Lucy's shoes! As for the wolf escape, that was quite interesting to read about. The zookeeper's English was a little hard to understand at first, but after getting used to it it's not so bad. Dracula was going around stirring up trouble again. At least the wolf was unharmed. Moving on to Renfield; that's pretty disgusting that he would go and cut Dr. Seward and then drink his blood.
I'll have more later. I've read through chapter 20, but my blogging is lagging a little bit. I'll try to have it soon!

I think Van Helsing should have told Mrs. Westenra about the garlic. I can't understand how telling her that the garlic would make her daughter better would cause her more stress, then saying that she's made her worse by removing the garlic.
Yeah, I think that he should have told her that the garlic would make her better, but not why. He did manage not to tell Mrs. Westenra that removing the garlic made her worse.
