"That breaking of the glass set me a-dreaming over our old mill, and your mother, child, that died across the seas. We was both there, girls like, all over again. Only Dave's Mrs. Picture, she come across the dream, and spoilt it." It was not necessary for Mrs. Ruth to take her attention off the pillow-lace she was at work upon. She remarked: "I thought her a nice old soul, to look at."
Sam went to the club with his immortal namesake, bullied Bennet Langton, argued with Beauclerk, put down Goldsmith, and extinguished Boswell. But it was too hot to read; so he let the book fall on his lap, and lay a-dreaming. What a delicious verandah is this to dream in!
Satan must have occasionally crouched down in some corner of the hovel in which Thenardier dwelt, and have fallen a-dreaming in the presence of this hideous masterpiece. After a momentary hesitation: "Bah!" he thought; "they will have time to make their escape."
But there is always more sky above, and Kedzie's motto was a relentless Excelsior! It was inevitable that when at last she was bedded in the best bed in one of America's most splendid homes, she should fall a-dreaming of foreign splendors beyond the Yankee sky.
"Oh!" he panted once again, "is it, or am I getting delirious? Ah! there it goes again or am I wrong? What's a bugle going for at this time in the afternoon? I'm a-dreaming of it. No, I ain't! Hooray! Look up, Mister Archie, sir! It's all right. Cheer up, sir!" "What! What!

I crept back under the woven coverlid.
He betrayed himself at every step, if not positively, by incautious words, why then by the utter lack of control he had upon his countenance. He made now a wild attempt to bluster. "Lies!

"Then what I've been dreamin' of ever sence I saw your name in the paper can come true." "What have you been a-dreaming of, Drusilla?" Drusilla was silent for a few moments, looking thoughtfully into the fire.
