"And if he left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be? ... You'd be nowhere. Why, you're only a sort of thing in his dream! If that there King was to wake you'd go out -- bang! -- just like a candle!"

"Hush! You'll be waking him, I'm afraid, if you make so much noise."

"Well it's no use your talking about waking him when you're only one of the things in his dream. You know very well you're not real."

Have spent the morning ordering books for the Spring Shelley course. Have been nervously weighing the reliability of exam copies from Oxford (which last term never did arrive) against the Amazon monster. Have been thinking of spending library money to update our holdings and to have the course texts available in the stacks. Our library doesn't even own a copy of The Last Man--which apparently I could read online if I were really really driven. Which is very very wrong.
