"Now, Professor, I do hope you're not having a lark. These vampires, do they readily make themselves known here? Are there any in the room with us today? I don't believe they exist where I'm from as anything more than stories. Much like werewolves, or the Mummy. Oh, there are mummies, to be certain, just not the animate sorts."
