Dracula by Bram Stoker
1. _By Road._--There are endless difficulties, especially in leaving the

(_y_) There are, or there may be, customs and octroi officers to pass.
(_z_) His pursuers might follow. This is his highest fear; and in order
to prevent his being betrayed he has repelled, so far as he can, even
his victim--me!
