AbstractHistoryArchive Description

English club tale of a murderous dream. A young married gentleman about to leave for Scotland to recover from a sick liver dreams that he murders a fellow club member. The dead man follows him in the portmanteau he tumbles the body into. Slight, predictable, some humour. (PB)
