Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: This story is being told by a lawyer, Jonathan Harker. In this scene, he hears of ‘Walpurgis night’. Some people used to believe that supernatural things happened on this night. When we started our drive the sun was shining brightly and the air was full of the joyousness of early summer. Just as we were about to depart, Professor Delbruck came down to the carriage and, after wishing me a pleasant drive, said to the coachman, Johann, “Remember to be back by nightfall. The sky looks bright but there is a shiver in the north wind that say there may be a sudden storm. But I am sure you will not be late.” Here he smiled and added, “for you know what night it is.” Johann, touching his hat, drove off quickly. When we had cleared the town, I said, after signaling to him to stop: “Tell me, Johann, what is tonight?” He crossed himself, as he answered laconically. “Walpurgis night.” Then he took out his watch, a great, old-fashioned silver thing as big as a turnip and looked at it, with his eyebrows gathered together. I realised that this was his way of respectfully protesting against the unnecessary delay and so I sank back in the carriage, merely motioning him to proceed. He started off rapidly, as if to make up for lost time. Every now and then the horses seemed to throw up their heads and sniff the air suspiciously. The driver resents the unnecessary delay but he does not say so. Why not?
