The next morning everyone agreed that nothing would be kept from Mina any more.Before the men left, Van Helsing gently touched her forehead with a piece of holy bread, to protect her.Mina screamed, for the holy bread had burned her skin like hot metal and left a red mark.
“Unclean!” she cried. “Even heaven turns away from me!”Van Helsing said with great tenderness that one day, when their work was done, the mark would be gone.Then they all knelt together, held hands, and promised to stay faithful to one another.
At Carfax the men opened each of the twenty-nine boxes and placed a piece of holy bread in the earth.Now the Count could never rest in those boxes again.As they walked away, Jonathan saw Mina at the window and waved to tell her that the work was done.
In Piccadilly, Arthur and Quincey acted as if they owned the house and asked a locksmith to open the door.No one on the busy street thought it was strange, and soon the locksmith left.Inside, the house smelled just like the chapel at Carfax.
In the dining room they found eight boxes of earth, but the ninth was missing.They also found a heap of keys to the Count’s other houses.Arthur and Quincey took the keys and hurried off to deal with the boxes at Mile End and Bermondsey, while the others waited for the Count.

다음 날 아침, 모두가 이제부터는 미나에게 아무것도 숨기지 않기로 했어요. 남자들이 떠나기 전에, 반 헬싱은 미나를 지켜 주려고 성스러운 빵 조각을 이마에 살며시 댔어요. 미나가 비명을 질렀어요. 성스러운 빵이 뜨거운 쇠처럼 살갗을 태워 붉은 자국을 남긴 것이었어요.
"더러워요!" 미나가 울부짖었어요. "하늘마저 저를 외면하는군요!" 반 헬싱은 한없이 다정하게, 언젠가 이 일이 모두 끝나면 그 자국도 사라질 거라고 말했어요. 그러고 나서 모두 함께 무릎을 꿇고 손을 맞잡은 채, 끝까지 서로를 저버리지 않겠다고 약속했어요.
카팩스에서 남자들은 스물아홉 개의 상자를 하나하나 열고 흙 속에 성스러운 빵 조각을 넣었어요. 이제 백작은 다시는 그 상자들 속에서 쉴 수 없었어요. 돌아가는 길에 조너선은 창가에 선 미나를 보고, 일이 잘 끝났다고 손을 흔들어 알렸어요.
피카딜리에서 아서와 퀸시는 집주인인 척하며 열쇠공에게 문을 열어 달라고 했어요. 번잡한 거리에서 그것을 이상하게 여기는 사람은 아무도 없었고, 열쇠공은 곧 돌아갔어요. 집 안에서는 카팩스의 예배당과 똑같은 냄새가 났어요.
식당에서 흙 상자 여덟 개를 찾았지만, 아홉 번째 상자는 보이지 않았어요. 백작의 다른 집들 열쇠 한 무더기도 찾아냈어요. 아서와 퀸시는 열쇠를 챙겨 마일 엔드와 버몬지의 상자들을 처리하러 서둘러 떠났고, 나머지는 남아서 백작을 기다렸어요.
