Dream of British Empire meeting maligned by dreamer
A dream narrative portrays a wartime office or social event where the author imagines a meeting of patriotic British women to boycott German goods. The tale shifts to a comic misadventure as the speaker envisions delays, misreadings of time, and a mock Great Bargain Sale of Bosomy Drapery, ending with the narrator awakening from an absurd royal fantasy. The piece also advertises a shipping or lending society with details and local agents.
