The most extraordinary dream I ever xx1xx
was one in which I fancied that, as I was going into a theater, the cloak-room
attendant stopped me in the lobby and insisted on my xx2xx
my legs behind. I was not surprised; but I was considerably annoyed. I
said I had never heard of such a rule at any respectable theater xx3xx,
and that I considered it a most absurd regulation. The man replied that
he was very xx4xx, but that those were his
instructions. People complained that they could not get to and from their
xx5xx comfortably, because other people's
legs were always in the way; and it had, therefore, been decided that xx6xx
should leave their legs outside. It seemed to me that the management, in
making this order, had gone xx7xx their legal
right; and, under ordinary circumstances, I should have disputed it. However,
I didn't want to xx8xx a disturbance; and
so I sat down and meekly prepared to comply with the demand. I had never
before xx9xx that the human leg could be unscrewed.
I had always thought it was more securely fixed. But the man showed me
how to undo them, and I found that they came off quite easily. The discovery
did not surprise xx10xx any more than the
original request that I should take them off. Nothing does surprise one
in a dream.
