The Book of Dreams and Ghosts

CHAPTER II
35/44

"I heard myself say in a peremptory fashion: 'Ada, don't be afraid, I know just what to do; all will go well'." All did go well; meanwhile Mr.C.ran to seven doctors' houses, and at last returned with a young man whom Mrs.Weiss vaguely recognised.
Mrs.C.whispered, "Look at the doctor's cravat".

It was blue and coral sprigged, and then first did Mrs.Weiss remember her dream of Friday night.
Mrs.Weiss's story is corroborated by Mr.Blanchard, who heard the story "a few days after the event".

Mrs.C.has read Mrs.Weiss's statement, "and in so far as I can remember it is quite correct".

Mr.
C.remembers nothing about it; "he declares that he has no recollection of it, _or of any matters outside his business_, and knowing him as I do," says Mrs.Weiss, "I do not doubt the assertion".
Mr.C.must be an interesting companion.

The nurse remembers that after the birth of the baby Mrs.C.called Mr.C.'s attention to "the doctor's necktie," and heard her say, "Why, I know him by mamma's description as the doctor she saw in her dreams".
