** Despite Arthur "winning" Lucy, Quincey and Seward remain friends with him, inviting him to celebrate his happiness and supporting him and Lucy as Lucy falls ill from Dracula's attacks. They stand by Arthur afterward, comforting him after his beloved's death. Every man should be so lucky to have bros like Quincey Morris and Jack Seward.

* Realizing Seward is running himself ragged looking after her and trying to find out why she's so ill, Lucy basically orders him to get some sleep. Seeing his reluctance, she has him stay in the guest room next to her own, and keeps both doors open, swearing she'll call for him if she needs a thing, and says he can recline on the couch if he doesn't feel right going to bed while he has a patient. Seward finally relents, realizing he's no good as a doctor if he doesn't sleep. In her diary entry for that night, Lucy thanks God for giving her so many people who care about her.

* Mr. Swales is a cantankerous, argumentative old man in Whitby who shares local legends with Mina, and makes snide comments about everything, including the dead. However, when he realizes his GallowsHumor went too far and genuinely upset Mina, he apologizes to her and explains that he and other elderly people often make light of death because they're so used to losing people, and they know their own time on Earth is running out, so joking about it makes it easier. He then says he's had a long, long life already and he's ready for the Grim Reaper's visit and death is the one thing everyone has in common. Becomes HarsherInHindsight when Swales dies later, not peacefully in his bed as he assumed, but by having his ''neck snapped''. Rest in peace, you GrumpyOldMan, you.

* Even though he knows it's necessary to help defeat the Count, Seward is deeply awkward about allowing Mina (at this point a total stranger) to listen to his journal because it contains some very personal information, particularly as regards to his feelings for Lucy. Listening to Seward's grief at Lucy's romantic rejection, combined with his kind and loving treatment of her despite of it, moves Mina to tears, and she thanks Seward for allowing her to 'hear his heart beating'. It's a deeply touching moment of intimacy which cements their friendship.

** From the very beginning of the book: His first travelogues include several notes to transcribe the recipe of an enjoyable dish so that Mina will know it. Misogynistic gender roles? ... Maybe. Still heartwarming, though.
