I do not think that a corrupt politician nor a favor-seeking business man has the best good of the plain citizen at heart." "That is very interesting from the dreamer's point of view," said Reeves.

With the rise of scientific thought the whole of this expressive mythology was transferred to psychology; to-day there is but a small minority among educated persons who doubt that the dream is the dreamer's own psychical act. But since the downfall of the mythological hypothesis an interpretation of the dream has been wanting.
"Who shall allot the praise, and guess What part is yours what part is ours?" "Perhaps a dreamer's day will come ... when judgment will be pronounced on all the wise men, who always prophesied evil and were always right."
Have we not all, again and again, shared the Dreamer's feelings "After that they shut up the Gates; which, when I had seen, I wished myself among them," and prayed, God helping us, that our "dangerous journey" ever the most dangerous when we see its dangers the least might end in our "safe arrival at the desired country"?

Arm in arm, they returned together to the train, talking he knew not what, made the journey back in the same carriage, sat down to dinner, and passed the evening in the drawing-room as in the past. But suspense and fear drummed in the dreamer's bosom. "She has not denounced me yet" so his thoughts ran "when will she denounce me? Will it be to- morrow?"
Scrooge's entreaty addressed to the Ghost, when the latter demanded a hearing, "Don't be flowery, Jacob, pray!" was only less laughable, for example, than the expression of the old dreamer's visage when Marley informed him that he had often sat beside him invisibly!
