1890s

At some point, I may even have a reasonable calendar, but for now, here's my best guess:

ADD DEATH DATE OF MR ARCHIBALD WINTER SUFFIELD (Book has it c. 6-7 April)

• 4 December - 30 January: Hildescheim / Harker Journal
• 29 January - 27 February: Log of the Demeter
• 3 March: Storm which brings the Demeter
• 4 March: Logbook of Demeter printed
• 31 March: Archibald Craven takes a set of photos of Miss Juliette Parton, formerly engaged to Sebastian, but currently engaged to Arthur, 3rd son of George Godolphin Osborne (aka the Duke of Leeds).
• 3 April 1894: Liesl arrives in Budapest
• 4 - 6 April: Liesl treats Immanuel.
• 6 April: Lady Carradine's party. Archibald takes photographs of all the guests.
• 7 April: Archibald notices that something is unusual about Mr. de Ville's photographs.
• 8 April: Archibald consults Sebastian.
• 10 April: Liesl in Varna, telegraphs Sebastian for the second time. Sebastian, Roxana, and Archibald at a party. No de Ville, but Carmilla present and arranges to stay with Roxana and Archibald.

(The Orient Express, which actually ran from Budapest to Varna (!) took four days to go from Paris to Istanbul; so that seems about right.)

• 11 April: Roxana learns her son Edgar has seen faeries. She telegraphs Sebastian. Sebastian telegraphs Herman.
• 12 April: Herman comes to London. Sebastian leaves for Misselthwaite and sends work to Herman and Liesl. Archibald has a second photo session with Miss Juliette Parton.
• 13 - 19 April: Various travels as folks converge on Misselthwaite Manor. Photographs developed. Faeries, Carmilla, illnesses. Also, Juliette becomes ill.
• 13 April: Archibald returns photos for no money to Juliette's father, Sir Robert.
• 20 April: Liesl arrives at Misslewaithe. Session one ends here with Carmilla's flight and many Discoveries. Many relatives arrive. In London, Lady Carradine writes demanding the return of all photos from Archibald and that he make no mention of her ball or their acquaintanceship or she will not be able to answer for the consequences.
• 21 April: Much info is dumped on people.
• 22 April: Roxana has vanished. Owen has left. Archibald attacked in his studio by Mr. de Ville. Flees to a party and to Beatrice.
• 23 April: Everyone meets in London at Mrs. Pat's, and info is again dumped.
• 24 April: Herman, Liesl, Sebastian, and Beatrice (Beatrice Stella Tanner aka Mrs Patrick Campbell aka Mrs Pat) split four ways, looking for information.
• 25 April: Sebastian Clears Heat. Mrs. Pat travels.
• 26 April: Mrs. Pat Returns.
• 27 April: Gabriel to St. Ignatius. Beatrice and Sebastian find 26 boxes of earth at Carfax. Herman talke to George Stoker. Liesl talks to Carl Bradford, hypnotizing him, leaving a message for Dracula, and implanting a post-hypnotic command that Carl keep counting. Sebastian and Beatrice in disguise to St. Ignatius, where Quentin and Gabriel are talking. To Gabriel's home and the chapel, where rats show up and he calls out his reindeer-named dogs to drive them off.
• 28 April: Liesl does research and sends a telegram to Van Helsing, an old case study. Beatrice talks to street kids about Mr. Hardcannon, and goes to talk to Mr. Barker at Ten Bells. She loses time because De Ville interrogates her, and he is scared that folks have gotten the attention of Dracula. Sebastian and Gabriel break into the 197 Chicksand place, finding 6 more dirt boxes and a lot of porcelain, as well as papers and money. Herman studies dirt. The Chicksand boxes are full of dirt from the part of Germany where Ringler came from, but the Carfax Abbey boxes have Transylvannian dirt -- specifically, Hermanstadt, Transylvania (which is today Sibiu, Romania). Rescue of Juliette planned. Liesl learns that Sir Robert took Quentin home from the asylum an hour ago. Gabriel recruits folks from his club, and with Beatrice and Liesl, rescues Quentin and Juliette. Herman and Sebastian break into the Picadilly house, encountering a tiny man and a woman who almost certainly works for Edom. She says that all is under control. Liesl sets up a blood transfusion from Quentin to Juliette, who will die without one. Amazingly, it is successful. Van Helsing arrives. Incidentally, it is shabbas.
• 29 April: Van Helsing tells all he knows about vampires, if he can be believed. Key points: Iron stakes (conductive), Vanderpool Garlic, and apparently, crosses work. Liesl thinks that is a psychological hang up. Dracula sends a message to Liesl agreeing to meet.
• 30 April (Monday): Liesl meets Dracula at the Great Synagogue of London, with Sebastian watching, unable to understand a word of the conversation. Sebastian kills a rat. Herman loses his Symbol until such time as Ringler is dead and the Symbol recreated / cleansed. They stop Gabriel and Van Helsing from destroying the boxes at Carfax Abbey, making enough noise that Seward and orderlies come out to yell at them. Sebastian's mother telegrams, asking if he needs any help. Project Trident is conceived. Dracula will bring Hildescheim home.
