1 I dream about it most every night myself.
2 Injun Joe infested all his dreams, and always with doom in his eye.
3 We can try, Tom; but I've seen such a beautiful country in my dream.
4 THE adventure of the day mightily tormented Tom's dreams that night.
5 Tom went home miserable, and his dreams that night were full of horrors.
6 Even Finn the Red-Handed was dreaming of his doorsteps and empty hogsheads.
7 If he did not do it, then the adventure would be proved to have been only a dream.
8 And then there came, mingling with his half-formed dreams, a most melancholy caterwauling.
9 The children left for school, and the old lady to call on Mrs. Harper and vanquish her realism with Tom's marvellous dream.
10 He sat looking into her drawn face and saw it grow smooth and natural under the influence of pleasant dreams; and by-and-by a smile dawned and rested there.
11 In such delicious fancies time quickly glides by, and the welcome hour arrives for her entrance into the Elysian world, of which she has had such bright dreams.
12 But the incidents of his adventure grew sensibly sharper and clearer under the attrition of thinking them over, and so he presently found himself leaning to the impression that the thing might not have been a dream, after all.
13 Here I go over to Sereny Harper, like an old softy, expecting I'm going to make her believe all that rubbage about that dream, when lo and behold you she'd found out from Joe that you was over here and heard all the talk we had that night.
14 He so worked upon his feelings with the pathos of these dreams, that he had to keep swallowing, he was so like to choke; and his eyes swam in a blur of water, which overflowed when he winked, and ran down and trickled from the end of his nose.
15 It seemed to him that life was but a trouble, at best, and he more than half envied Jimmy Hodges, so lately released; it must be very peaceful, he thought, to lie and slumber and dream forever and ever, with the wind whispering through the trees and caressing the grass and the flowers over the grave, and nothing to bother and grieve about, ever any more.
