Dracula Part I: a Mere Hint of Malice

A MERE HINT OF MALICE

paprikash chicken…
sweet dish...sink your teeth into
...careful of the host

his eyes hypnotize…
delighted to wine and dine
...hungry for Harker*

single baying wolf
under your satin window
...salivating dreams

Thanks, Nette! I make chicken paprikash so I was tickled when I saw that the food is talked about in Dracula.
