Jon looked much better today than he had the last few weeks, put together and almost even contented. He managed a pleasant almost-smile at the students. "We're getting closer to the end of the semester," he noted. "Today's story is older than a lot of the others we've read, and the movie is...quite different than the written material. So, let's watch and then discuss."

After they were done, he put the next week's text on the board: Dracula. "This one is a book, so if you don't think you'll finish it in time, please feel free to skim," he noted.
