Poor old Mr. Swales was found dead this morning on our seat, his neck being broken. He had evidently, as the doctor said, fallen back in the seat in some sort of fright, for there was a look of fear and horror on his face that the men said made them shudder. Poor dear old man! Perhaps he had seen Death with his dying eyes!
– Bram Stoker
Dracula, Chapter 7. Mina writes in her journal how the elderly Mr. Swales is found dead in the cemetery with his neck broken and a look of fear frozen on his face. Swales had warned people about the dangers posed by Dracula after his arrival to England. It was probably Dracula he saw with his dying eyes, perhaps doing something evil.
