I came across another example in Ep #250 today:
Remarking on Willie's handiwork at making "Josette's" coffin, Barnabas waxes rhapsodically:
"Magnificent! When she sees it, my bride will find it quite, quite beautiful. She will recognize it as the object of great longing. And she will weep with joy at having found it at last."
Um, yes - of course she will.
After all, what young lady-vampire's fondest wish isn't to have a beautiful coffin and to search for one with great longing?
Yup, I'm sure that's all they think about - just like some drivers yearn to own a Mercedes or BMW!
