Fan theory. Lady Arabella intentionally destroys the worm and kills herself. I was on a series of airplane flights so I didn't get a chance to send in one last unabridged text note. The ending vis a vis Lady Arabella's last minutes are a lot different in the unabridged and far more intriguing. Maybe the most interesting part of the book. She takes the wheel wire of the sounding device off the tower (which I assume is an error by Stoker and she actually takes the wheel of the thin wire for the runners, but whatever. Any wire will do. She also steals some magnesium ribbon from the tower.) we don't get access to her thoughts really. She drags that wire home and then puts it in the hole and lays down on the sofa nearly over the hole. And this laying on the sofa is mentioned three times in the book before the disaster strikes (once whan Adam observes her there). We're not told explicitly that Arabella knows about the dynamite but she spends her days using the the sounding device while that's happening, so I'm thinking she very well might. Oh and our hero Adam and his new bride spend the disaster observing from just outside the iron door! Which I don't know how they survived, but whatever. And Mimi explicitly asks shouldn't they warn the household? And Adam is all like, Nah.... Lady Arabella has some telling thoughts at this point where she gets everything rigged to blow up: "Truly all was well, and she felt that she might pause a while and rest. She lay down on a sofa close to the well-hole so that she could see it without moving when she had lit the lamp. In a state of blissful content she sank into a gentle sleep" So, my conclusion: Lady Arabella commits suicide with the worm. And she stays over the well hole to keep it calm and not worried about what's going on. (It's pretty common for suicidal people to feel relieved once they finally make a plan to finish themselves off, sadly. An under-recognized warning for loved ones, actually) TLDR: Lady Arabella is the true hero of this story.

That movie is VERY Ken Russelly. I had already seen it, but Iit had been a while and I never connected to the book at all.
