THE
LOST
CHEQUE
Mr.
A.,
a
barrister,
sat
up
one
night
to
write
letters,
and
about
half-past
twelve
went
out
to
put
them
in
the
post.
On
undressing
he
missed
a
cheque
for
a
large
sum,
which
he
had
received
during
the
day.
He
hunted
everywhere
in
vain,
went
to
bed,
slept,
and
dreamed
that
he
saw
the
cheque
curled
round
an
area
railing
not
far
from
his
own
door.
He
woke,
got
up,
dressed,
walked
down
the
street
and
found
his
cheque
in
the
place
he
had
dreamed
of.
In
his
opinion
he
had
noticed
it
fall
from
his
pocket
as
he
walked
to
the
letter-box,
without
consciously
remarking
it,
and
his
deeper
memory
awoke
in
slumber.
