Don't Go to Market

Dreamed by a Stockwith woman, June/July 1757

As we rode over Haxey-car towards Misterton, one was relating a surprising thing that happened lately:

A woman of Stockwith told her sister who lived with her, 'I do not think to go to market to-day, for I dreamed that I was drowned in riding across one of the drains on Haxey-car.'

But she was soon laughed out of it, and went.

She rode over the Car with many other market-folks, and in crossing one of the drains, where the water was scarce a yard deep, slipped off her horse.

Several looked on, but none once thought of pulling her out till she was past recovery.

EDITOR'S HEAVY-HANDED MORAL

When a dream warns you, listen! Your so-called friends may talk you out of it, but they won't pull you out of it!
