It's interesting that he keeps repeating that he wouldn't wear a crucifix normally because he'd consider it idolatrous when using crucifixes to ward of vampires is so ingrained in the lore now.
Oh, that's because a crucifix necessarily has a person on it! Crosses are usually mostly fine in even the more conservative Protestant denominations, but crucifixes are really a Catholic/Orthodox/very old Christian churches thing.
I'm pretty sure most vampire things I've seen only show crosses, not crucifixes?
Ooh, yeah, duh, you're right.
It's not idolatry if you hold two shotguns in the shape of a cross to ward off vampires, only if one has a figure of Jesus on it.

I don't know how I'd feel if someone told me they found the perfect person for me and one of the first things they mentioned in that they run an insanse asylum.

I'm not sure if it's the asylum owner or Mr. Holmwood/Arthur, but I think it's Arthur Holmwood. He's the last person she mentions before she starts writing about loving 'him' and he is the tall, curly-haired man Mina asked about.

So how do you know Arthur and Holmwood are the same person because I still feel lost

Could be three people asylum owner, Mr. Holmwood and Arthur too or Arthur could be the asylum owner is called Arthur, but she would have mentioned I think, Arthur being Holmwood just makes the most sense to me and her not saying the person she loves would be perfect for her best friend also makes more sense than the alternative.
*checks*
Yeah, there's a character called Arthur Holmwood in this. Still not 100% sure who she loves.

Lucy is in love with Arthur Holmwood, and Arthur introduced her to the guy who runs the insane asylum, and Lucy thinks the guy who runs the insane asylum would be perfect for Mina, if Mina wasn't already engaged, is how I read it. (Mr Holmwood "often comes to see us", Arthur "says [Dress is a bore] every day" to Lucy, so Mr Holmwood and Arthur being the same person seems more likely than Arthur running the insane asylum.)

"Say Jonathan could a man have multiple solicitors in case one died of a sudden loss of blood?"
What manner of man is this, or what manner of creature is it in the semblance of man?
Is this some kind of spider-man?
