Dream children
Charles Lamb fell asleep in his armchair and dreamed of his deceased children, James Elia and Alice. In his dream, the children asked him to tell them about their great-grandmother, Mrs. Field, who used to care for an old manor house. Lamb described Mrs. Field as a religious and caring woman, though she later fell ill with cancer. He also told a story about their uncle John, who died young. When the children began crying, Lamb shifted to telling them about courting their late mother Alice for seven years before marrying her. The children then faded away into the distance, revealing it had all been a dream, and Lamb awoke to find himself alone in the armchair.
