My room the old room, with one page torn out—for I conceived it as part of a book, somehow! Oh such a lot of this dream! Most of it clearly due to obvious sources—I don’t see where Lord M y comes in. Very likely he is dead. I have had that happen now and again. [P.S.—This was not the case] The dream changed, too, to a liner; where Japanese stole my pipe in a series of adventures of an annoy…
