I'm writing on Florence Marryat's 'Blood of the #Vampire' (1897-same year as #Dracula). It starts in the dining room of the Hotel du Lion d'Or in the Belgian seaside resort of Heyst (modern Heist-aan-Zee). I've just found a hotel postcard from c.1910 & dining room of similar hotel down the street!

henry thomas dundas le vesconte… sometimes he wrote beautiful, heartwrenching things and sometimes he wrote a line like “i have such a lot of lady correspondents that they really take up a fearful deal of time but i suppose it is my fault for provoking it”

McCormick returns to the ship in the afternoon "amid snow-drift and dark passing hail-storms, the whole snow-clad country and sky above presenting the most wild and monotonous aspect".
