Victor is upset at the sight of the gypsy, Julianka, who is searching for Magda Rakosi.
== Synopsis ==
: There are few who have ever lived at Collinwood who have not known terror in some form. But no man has ever been as terrified as Quentin Collins is this night, in the Old House on the Collins estate. There, with the help of Angelique, he has sought to use the supernatural powers of the mysterious disembodied hand to end the curse that has afflicted him. But the attempt has failed. And once again, Quentin is being transformed from man to beast. And Angelique is unaware that the transformation is witnessed by a sinister stranger.
Victor watches from outside the window as Quentin tranforms to a werewolf. He later goes to town where he meets Aristede at the Blue Whale. He becomes upset at the sight of the gypsy Julianka, who is searching for Magda. Aristede takes a shine to Julianka and escorts her to the Old House, where she leaves him abruptly. Inside the house she finds Barnabas and tells him that she will end Quentin's curse if she gets the hand of Count Petofi.
== Memorable quotes ==
: Victor: The Hand doesn’t always bring out the best in people, Aristede.
----
: Aristede: Your face is new to me and I find it attractive.
: Julianka: My name is Julianka, and now that you know it, you had better forget it. I am not going to be here long enough for you or anyone else to... like me.
----
: Barnabas: You are doing this to spite me. That could be your only reason.
: Angelique: I'm doing it because I'm bored... with you, with the future and the past and the present. I've bided my time. I've waited and waited. I'm sick of waiting. Life, even for people like us, Barnabas, was meant to be lived. I intend to start living it, and there's nothing you can do to stop me.
