As I mentioned before, I'm listening to Steve's videos from last year's Dracula read-aloud to accompany my own rereading of Dracula.
I don't have a lot of notes on this one.  I agree with Steve that a little bit too much superfluous detail is given on Jonathon Harker's quest to track down the various workers.  (It's these kind of things that slow the book down, and can make it a bit of a slog in places).  Also agree with Steve that the characters are being a bit dense, and not recognizing clues right in front of their faces sometimes.  And also agree with Steve that it's a great cliff-hanger ending for this chapter.

For the "Mohican" version of the book that Steve refers to, see below:
