“One night, long gone by, was as material to me as if I were in it still,
but I didn’t tell her. She was desperate in that night, running away
from Lestat, who had urged her to kill a woman in the street from
whom she’d backed off, clearly alarmed. I was sure the woman had
resembled her mother. Finally she’d escaped us entirely, but I’d found
her in the armoire, beneath the jackets and coats, clinging to her doll.
And, carrying her to her crib, I sat beside her and sang to her, and she
stared at me as she clung to that doll, as if trying blindly and
mysteriously to calm a pain she herself did not begin to understand.
Can you picture it, this splendid domesticity, dim lamps, the vampire
father singing to the vampire daughter? Only the doll had a human
face, only the doll.” – Louis de Pointe du Lac, Interview with the Vampire
