The most extraordinary dream I ever had was one in which I fancied that, as I was going into a theater, the cloak-room attendant【21】 me in the lobby and insisted on my【22】 my legs behind. I was not surprised but I was considerably annoyed. I said I had【23】 heard of such a rule at any respectable theater【24】, and that I considered it a most absurd regulation. The man replied that he was very【25】 , but that those were his instructions. People complained that they could not get to and from their【26】 comfortably, because other people's legs were always in the【27】 and it had, therefore, been decided that【28】 should leave their legs outside. It seemed to me that the management, in making this order, had gone【29】 their legal right and, under ordinary circum- stances, I should have disputed it. However, I didn't want to【30】 a disturbance and【31】 I sat down and meekly prepared to comply with the demand. I had never before【32】 that the human leg could be unscrewed. I had always【33】 it was more securely fixed. But the man showed me how to undo them, and I found that they came off【34】 easily. The discovery did not surprise【35】 any more than the original request that I should take them off. Nothing does surprise one in a dream. (41)
