The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·
Andrew Lang
84
There
are
many
examples,
as
of
the
girl
in
her
bath
who
heard
a
voice
say
"Open
the
door"
four
times,
did
so,
then
fainted,
and
only
escaped
drowning
by
ringing
the
bell
just
before
she
swooned.
Of
course
she
might
not
have
swooned
if
she
had
not
been
alarmed
by
hearing
the
voices.
These
tales
are
dull
enough,
and
many
voices,
like
Dr.
Johnson's
mother's,
when
he
heard
her
call
his
name,
she
being
hundreds
of
miles
away,
lead
to
nothing
and
are
not
veracious.
When
they
are
veracious,
as
in
the
case
of
dreams,
it
may
be
by
sheer
accident.
In
a
similar
class
are
"warnings"
conveyed
by
the
eye,
not
by
the
ear.
The
Maoris
of
New
Zealand
believe
that
if
one
sees
a
body
lying
across
a
path
or
oneself
on
the
opposite
side
of
a
river,
it
is
wiser
to
try
another
path
and
a
different
ford.
