Lucy's human life has died, death had restored her beauty. Arthur didnt realize that she was dangerous and was about to kiss her before she died. She hasnt really died she is just transforming into a vampire. Right when she transformed into a vampire she is the most innocent and pure she will ever be like a baby in the womb, and the womb for the baby is the safest spot possible. Thats what the quote is saying.
Van wants to cut off Lucy's head and take out her heart after the funeral. He put a crucifix into Lucys mouth which was later stolen. The lady who stole robs the dead but she might be messing with something more because Lucy isnt really a normal dead person. I think she might have caused alot more trouble than she knew she would because thats what kept Dracula away and the lady might get pay back later in the story.
Van Helsing is scared and walking around the house because he is nevous that Lucy is going to awaken. He has a lot of garlic around the house but he still needs to patrol. Van Helsing is about to read Lucy's diary so they might get some insight on when she changed or how. I dont think they are trying to save Lucy they just want to protect the rest of society. It is to late to save lucy, once you get your helpless.
