Dracula - Bram Stoker
Mina's story in the novel starts with her and Lucy writing each other letters, starting on the 9th of May. Mina and Lucy are two young women, both seeing different men and have known each other since they were children. Lucy outright tells Mina that they keep no secrets from one another and are very open to talk about their plans and their relationships to each other. Lucy is very happy to report to Mina that she received three proposals all on the same day, lamenting to her how hard it will be for her to pick one as she loves the other two so much that she doesn't want to make them sad. Lucy however also tells her not to tell anyone except Mina's fiancée Jonathan, as Lucy believes that women should always tell their husbands everything.

As Mina had told Lucy in her first letter to her, she started keeping a journal, like Jonathan. On the 24th of July, she and Lucy met at the station to move to a house at the Crescent. Meeting another person at the harbor, Lucy left Mina early to visit her mother. The next day, Mina and Lucy met up again just to talk, with Mina noting that they are often accompanied by two other unnamed friends of theirs. Mina notes how pretty Lucy looked, like she did the day before and that older men were always trying to sit close to her when they were out together. Though Lucy is very friendly with them, so Mina figures that they all fell in love with her on the spot. As one of the older men told Mina the story of a man who killed himself right were they are sitting. This rendered Mina speechless, so Lucy spoke up and chastised the man for telling them that story in the first place. The man told them that knowing it wouldn't harm them, so Mina and Lucy enjoyed the scenery after he left and even held hands. Lucy used this opportunity to tell Mina that she picked Arthur Holmwood, the man she knew the longest, to be the suitor she will marry. Though Mina is happy for Lucy, she is also reminded of the fact that she hadn't heard from Jonathan for quite a while, which is something she didn't tell Lucy.

On the 26th of July, Mina notes that she's getting increasingly worried about Jonathan and Lucy, for different reasons. Mina notes that Lucy had started to sleepwalk "again", implying that this is not the first time this had happened. Mina retells the worries of Lucy's widowed mother, who had already lost her husband due to him sleepwalking off a cliff and fears the same could happen to her daughter. Mina takes Lucy's mother's advice to just lock the door of their shared room to prevent this. She then retells what Lucy had planned for her marriage with Arthur, causing her to sympathize with her, as she had made similar (though far more humble) plans to marry Jonathan.

On the 27th, Mina notes how Lucy's increasing sleepwalking had wakened her. She seriously worries for Lucy's health, but decides it not be a matter to worry about, as Lucy seems stable and the weather is warm enough.

On the 3rd of August, Mina notes that Lucy isn't sleepwalking as much last week, but notes how strange it is that Lucy seems to be able to watch Mina and look for the key of the door even when asleep.

On the 6th of August, Mina briefly mentions Lucy being well, despite her being quite excited.

On the 7th, Mina glued newspaper reports of a storm into her journal, noting how frightened she and Lucy were to the point of being unable to sleep. Lucy however, was unable to be awakened and Mina had to undress her as she somehow managed to dress herself twice while sleep-walking.

On the 10th, Mina attended the funeral of a sea captain with Lucy, noting how great the view of all the boats pulling in at harbor was, despite the tragic circumstances. Mina notes how Lucy seemed especially upset as the corpse of the sea captain passed by. Mina is reminded that Lucy never told her why she's so restless all the time, suspecting that Lucy doesn't know herself. She notes that Lucy was always quite sensitive, influenced by things that even Mina barely registered. Though Mina was always fond of animals, she notes how the display of a man and dog fighting each other had Mina try to comfort the dog, but Lucy only stared at it with an agonized look on her face.
