The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Dracula by Bram Stoker: so thankful that Lord Godalming is rich, and both he and Mr. Morris,
who also has plenty of money, are willing to spend it so freely.
For if they did not, our little expedition could not start,
either so promptly or so well equipped, as it will within another hour.
It is not three hours since it was arranged what part each of us
was to do. And now Lord Godalming and Jonathan have a lovely
steam launch, with steam up ready to start at a moment's notice.
Dr. Seward and Mr. Morris have half a dozen good horses, well appointed.
We have all the maps and appliances of various kinds that can be had.
Professor Van Helsing and I are to leave by the 11:40 train tonight
for Veresti, where we are to get a carriage to drive to the Borgo Pass.
