I had no hope of seeing her again, even in the Chamber. I knew I could
never find Melbourne's home: I had paid no attention to the way the
taxi-driver took. And I wasn't very much interested now. It was only a
dream. I had lost the only girl I had ever loved, in a dream.
I pushed open the door of the Norfolk Lunch. It was late--I had only a
little while for breakfast. I sat down at one of the tables, and spoke
to the waiter in much the usual manner.
"Hello, Joe. I'm in a hurry--bring me bacon and eggs, as usual."
"Coffee, Mr. Barrett?"
"Yes, coffee too. And hurry it up."
It wouldn't do to be late at the office, where I, too, was a maker of
sometimes cruel dreams.
