The Book of Dreams and Ghosts

CHAPTER II
36/44

{48} The only thing even more extraordinary than the dream is Mr.C.'s inability to remember anything whatever "outside of his business".
Another witness appears to decline to be called, "as it would be embarrassing to him in his business".

This it is to be Anglo-Saxon! We now turn to a Celtic dream, in which knowledge supposed to be only known to a dead man was conveyed to his living daughter.
THE SATIN SLIPPERS On 1st February, 1891, Michael Conley, a farmer living near Ionia, in Chichasow county, Iowa, went to Dubuque, in Iowa, to be medically treated.

He left at home his son Pat and his daughter Elizabeth, a girl of twenty-eight, a Catholic, in good health.

On February 3 Michael was found dead in an outhouse near his inn.

In his pocket were nine dollars, seventy-five cents, but his clothes, including his shirt, were thought so dirty and worthless that they were thrown away.
The body was then dressed in a white shirt, black clothes and satin slippers of a new pattern.
