Mr. Wogglebug swallowed and took in a slow deep breath before he said, "It is obvious you are a vampire. I only just hope it doesn't suck for you or for me."

​

Count Karloff stopped smiling and started frowning at this. He presented Mr. Wogglebug with a long, low stare and said, "No, it doesn't suck for either of us. I may have no blood in me but I am not interested in sucking any of yours in case that was what you were implying."

​

"I was only joking really," Mr. Wogglebug assured him quickly. "And I have no real blood in me, neither. I apologize. It's just that it's my first time meeting an actual vampire. I am Mr. H.M. Wogglebug T.E. by the way."

​

"I am pleased to meet you, Mr. Wogglebug," said Count Karloff. "I accept your apology. This is far from the first time someone has feared me because I am a vampire."

​

"Or just different," said Mr. Wogglebug. "And between the two of us, I also know what it is like to be perceived as being different. There are people where I come from that think I'm peculiar because I'm different from them and so they want nothing to do with me. And while it saddens me I've learned as long as I have confidence in my own esteem I don't have to care what they think."

​

"Very true," said Count Karloff. "And now if I may make so bold as to allow you entrance into my humble home. I don't have many guests. And so it matters very much to me that they are as comfortable as possible and stay as long as they like."

​

"Thank you. It's very kind of you," said Mr. Wogglebug. "But I won't be able to stay long. I am on a sort of quest to get something special for someone dear to me."

​

"I quite understand," replied Count Karloff.

​

So Mr. Wogglebug followed the Count into the entrance of his castle. Inside he found a lavish foyer in the middle of which was a long staircase leading upward and beside it was a large door in the floor.

​

Count Karloff noticed Mr. Wogglebug looking curiously at these things and explained about them. "Up the stairs there lives a witch, and downstairs lives a scientist with his son. You may visit either you like. They are however, both very strange and kind of kooky. But just make yourself at home."

​

"Thank you," said Mr. Wogglebug.

​

He pondered which to visit for he was curious about both of them.
