"You want to be pale like a vampire! But the real vampires - those in folktales of Poland and Romania, Moravia and Serbia - are known to be ruddy from all the blood they are drinking," Clarimonde said. She had spread the blanket on the tomb to keep her marvelous red dress clean. "If you want to be a vampire, Jehan, you must be rosy!"

Jehan, sitting in the middle of moss and ivy, sighed. "You are joking with me!"

"I must loan my tome of Calmet to you. Shame on you, wanting to be a vampire and not knowing Calmet!" Clarimonde tapped Jehan playfully with a blade of grass. "Why, Jehan, if you want to be a vampire, you should be as rosy as me!"

For some reason, Clarimonde laughed.
