Quotes 

• Jonathan Reid : Where are we headed?

  Edgar Swansea : We're on our way to the Pembroke Hospital, it's just across the canal. They'll have a bed for poor Mr Hampton.

  Jonathan Reid : William was... what manner of creature was he?

  Edgar Swansea : Predator, prey, villain and victim. Who can say? The important thing is that he has been stopped.

  Jonathan Reid : Duly noted. And the woman. What... who is she?

  Edgar Swansea : What woman?

  Jonathan Reid : Don't play me for a fool. You used me to locate that Skal. You must know who she is.

  Edgar Swansea : And I thought you a gentleman! You shouldn't talk about a lady behind her back, but I will tell you she values her privacy. Were London as peaceful as she appears from the middle of the canal. If only that were the reality of the situation.

  Jonathan Reid : To be honest, I've always tried to avoid this part of town.

  Edgar Swansea : Pembroke Hospital is the last bastion between the rest of London and the epidemic. The flu has decimated the East End and the war still rages. Welcome to the front lines of a plague.

  Jonathan Reid : This is where you work Dr Swansea?

  Edgar Swansea : I am the administrator of Pembroke Hospital.

  Jonathan Reid : I thought you were here in service of your mysterious order. The Brotherhood of...

  Edgar Swansea : Of Saint Paul's Stole, yes. But first and foremost I'm a man of science. A physician, like yourself, Dr Reid.

  Jonathan Reid : How do you know who I am?

  Edgar Swansea : No need for modesty! You are Dr Jonathan Reid. A surgeon of some caliber and renown, if I'm not mistaken!

  Jonathan Reid : You are correct, sir.

  Edgar Swansea : I knew it! I had my suspicions, but when you took the blood sample from the corpse of poor William I was certain. Dr Reid. Marvelous!

  Jonathan Reid : Have we met?

  Edgar Swansea : I attend three of your seminars before the war. I have the utmost admiration for your research. And what a turn of fate! England's most esteemed blood specialist returns to London a vampire.

  Jonathan Reid : That word again. From a so-called man of science.

  Edgar Swansea : I understand. Traditionally the role of science is to refute myth, but when myths walk among us? The Brotherhood of Saint Paul has dedicated its purpose to their study. There's so much for you to learn!

  Jonathan Reid : Of that you are right.

  Edgar Swansea : Well, then let me be blunt. Join my staff at Pembroke Hospital as a physician. I suspect you'll not find a better post of employment to contemplate your... predicament.

  Jonathan Reid : This is sudden. I was returning home to see my sickly mother, but alas, that was before contracting this... affliction.

  Edgar Swansea : Dr Reid, take a moment to consider. The post would be for the night shift, providing a good explanation for your absence during the daylight hours. You'll be adequately reimbursed and have a place to hide. I even had the forethought to bring some clean clothes. So, what do you say?

  Jonathan Reid : It seems I have little choice, but yours is a generous offer. So, I thank you.

  Edgar Swansea : Brilliant! Jonathan, this is one for the book and the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
