Mr. Wogglebug smiled and extended his hand toward Count Karloff. "Hello Count Karloff. I am Mr. H.M. Wogglebug T.E. and I am very pleased to meet you," he said. "It is obvious to me you are a very handsome vampire as well as a gentleman of one. You have a lovely castle if ever I've seen one."

​

Count Karloff smiled wider and his eyes seemed to sparkle. He extended his own hand and shook Mr. Wogglebug's cordially. "Why, thank you. So good of you to say so. I don't receive too many compliments about myself or about my humble home. Being a vampire you see I don't get to know too many people. For many perceive me as being peculiar."

​

"Or just being 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.
