Arthur has urgent business with his father.
Telegram, Arthur Holmwood to Seward.
“1 September.
“Am summoned to see my father, who is worse. Am writing. Write me fully by to-night’s post to Ring. Wire me if necessary.”
Notes: Moon Phase: Waxing Gibbous
Arthur is called away to his father. There is no plot point here; I don't suspect Dracula is feeding on the senior Lord Godalming. This is keep him away so Seward can tell Arthur, and us, about Lucy's condition via a letter.
It is also to make Arthur the new Lord Godalming when his father dies. Being a Lord in this novel will have certain advantages.
