:12:09
A woman has had a dream
about me.

:12:12
She writes to ask
if I've had a dream about her.

:12:17
I had a strange dream
last night.

:12:20
Another letter
from Mrs. Gresham.

:12:23
- I can't remember any of it.
- Jewish Communist Christian American.

:12:26
You may ask me how I know
it was strange if I've forgotten it.

:12:30
- Can't answer that one.
- I like her letters.

:12:33
She can be quite sharp
sometimes.

:12:36
Listen to this, Warnie.
:12:40
She says, "I can't decide
whether you'd rather be...

:12:42
the child caught in the spell,
or the magician casting it."

:12:47
See, her letters are rather unusual.
:12:49
She writes as if
she knows me somehow.

:12:53
Still, I suppose there is something
of me in my books, isn't there?

:12:57
I expect
it's just the American style.

:13:00
Americans don't understand
about inhibitions.

:13:04
Ah. She's coming to England.
:13:08
She's coming to Oxford.
She wants to meet us.

:13:10
- Well, she can't come here.
- She knows.

:13:13
Of course not. But she does suggest
tea in her hotel.

:13:17
Tea is safe.
A hotel is safe.

:13:20
Though she might be mad.
:13:22
No, I don't think so.
She does write poems.

:13:26
Poems?
:13:29
She'll be barking.
:13:33
You won't be too agreeable,
will you, Jack?

:13:36
Don't worry, Warnie.
:13:53
She'll turn out to be writing
a dissertation on Wardrobe.

:13:57
She'll ask if she can come watch you
while you create.
