Nacht’/‘Walpurgis-Nacht’/‘Walpurgis night’, ‘to-day’/‘today’) and instances of double punctuation (:– and –, ) have been left as they originally occurred in the first edition. The exception to this is in ‘The Judge’s House’ where the first edition’s interchangeable use of ‘Malcolmson’ and ‘Malcomson’ has been regularized to ‘Malcolmson’. Obvious misspellings have also been silently corrected, for example ‘artistocratic’ has been amended to read ‘aristocratic’.
In a very few cases punctuation has been added where grammatically required, and very slight textual changes have been made where meaning would otherwise have been compromised. A list of such changes is given below:

DRACULA’S GUEST
When we started for our drive the sun was shining brightly on Munich, 1 and the air was full of the joyousness of early summer. Just as we were about to depart, Herr Delbrück (the maître d’hôtel of the Quatre Saisons, where I was staying) came down, bareheaded, to the carriage and, after wishing me a pleasant drive, said to the coachman, still holding his hand on the handle of the carriage door:
‘Remember you are back by nightfall. The sky looks bright but there is a shiver in the north wind that says there may be a sudden storm. But I am sure you will not be late.’ Here he smiled, and added, ‘for you know what night it is.’
Johann answered with an emphatic, ‘Ja, mein Herr, ’ and, touching his hat, drove off quickly. When we had cleared the town, I said, after signalling to him to stop:
‘Tell me, Johann, what is to-night?’
He crossed himself, as he answered laconically: ‘Walpurgis nacht.’ 2 Then he took out his watch, a great, old-fashioned German silver thing as big as a turnip, and looked at it, with his eyebrows gathered together and a little impatient shrug of his shoulders. I realised that this was his way of respectfully
