AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Melbourne domestic tale of dreams, prognostication and gambling. A Melbourne share broker bets very heavily on the racing double, dreamt of several times in succession, but has doubts after one horse wins. Dreams during the week between races induce him to hedge - by which he reduces his winnings by £5000. His wife's dream interpretations confound him - but harmony is restored. Amusing. Includes a reference to Grosvenor's wife, Lady Loch. (PB)
