It was really Willie's lucky day when Julia happened on the scene and stuck around permanently because then he had a doctor around 24/7 to tend to his every wound. (Well, except for whenever she disappeared for a few months here and there into other times. Though in those instances one would hope Willie would have sense enough to behave. )
Willie's lucky day? Dr. Hoffman beleaguered, belittled, and badgered that boy.
Fix me a laboratory, Willie. Stake this vampire for us, Willie. Dig this grave, find us a body, dream this curse, but don't tell. You will take the blame for stalking Maggie Evans, and stay at Wyndecliff, for you are quite mad. You can't have happiness with Roxanne, because you must carry out our plans.
Did I leave anything out? Wait. Didn't she light up a cigarette while Wille was in an oxygen tent?
