Claare Ny Gael - Manx RadioClaare ny Gael 24th July 2022There is a brief but intriguing reference in 'A Poetical Guide to the Isle of Man', the 1832 work of Rev Thomas Stephen, to 'Dunlop's Ellerslie left in the lurch'. Ellerslie is in Marown, but we find out about Anthony Dunlop through an article which was reprinted in the Peel City Guardian in 1899.
In our extract from the Manx translation of Dracula, the first of the three men who proposed to Lucy Westenra on the same day was Dr John Seward. Refused by Lucy, he immerses himself in work, and particularly concentrates on a patient, R M Renfield.

Then we head inland to the Nunnery - still associated here with the Heywoods, though they had sold it many years before to the Goldie-Taubmans.
Jonathan Harker makes a bid to leave Castle Dracula immediately when the Count seems to be so disposed - only to be met with another of the Count's cruel tricks. However, if he can't get out, he knows only too well what h...

When he was about 85 years of age in 1950, his grand-daughter, Thelma, published a collection of poetry called These Things I Would Remember, dedicated to her grandfather. We dip into that.
Jonathan Harker is having a troubled ride in a carriage to Castle Dracula, surrounded by a moving circle of howling wolves. The coachman has already displayed his great strength. But he also exhibits other startling abilities. Arriving at Castle Dracula gives little respite from worries.
