I turn off the main road into the lane. At the bend in the lane, the house comes into view. And I stop, because I recognise it. Then I drive on again, and Foley meets me at the front door. I recognise him, too.

Quote context

[...]

- And there was one of me once, in the Kentish Mercury. When I was a bridesmaid at my sister's wedding. You remember? Oh, but I shouldn't think you've come across that.

- Well, I've never had my photograph taken.

- Oh, yes, you did dear once. You know the one. Naked on a white fur rug, six months old.

- Good Lord, that's right. I don't think he'd recognise me, I was much fatter.

- Surely, Mr. Craig, you might've seen any of us some time or another. In the street or anywhere.

- Yes, but why should I always dream about meeting you all together, here in this room that I've never been in, in my life, until today?

- Mr. Craig, can you describe what happens in your dream?

- Well, not in detail, but it always starts exactly the same as when I arrived, just now.

- I turn off the main road into the lane. At the bend in the lane, the house comes into view. And I stop, because I recognise it. Then I drive on again, and Foley meets me at the front door. I recognise him, too.

- And then, when I'm taking off my coat, I have the most extraordinary feeling. I nearly turn and run for it, because I know I am going to come face to face with the six of you.

- Well, you've only come face to face with five of us so far, not counting Eliot.

- That's right. Five of you. There is a sixth person who comes in later.

- Can you describe this late arrival?

- It's an attractive girl with dark hair.

- Is that you can tell us about her?

- She comes in quite unexpectedly, and says something about not having any money.

- A penniless brunette, eh?

- How romantic. Do you fall madly in love with her, Mr. Craig?

- Have you ever told anyone about your dream?

- No, I don't think so. Not even my wife. Now I come to think of it, after I wake, it never stays in my memory for more than a few seconds. And none of it ever comes back to me until the next time it starts.
