M: Right, and what happened then?

W: Well, um …clearly I must have fallen asleep, because I wasn 5t feeling great by this time. And um,

I 5m starting to feel sleepy, so I 5m thinking I must have fallen asleep. Anyway, um, I was getting some funny looks, even before I fell asleep, but anyway, I fell asleep, and then I realized, um, before long, um, I must have been having a dream, I suppose, about my mother. Um, all of a sudden, I’ve woken up, but I haven’t just woken up, I’ve woken up shouting the word, “Mum!” M: No! You’re joking!

W: At the top of my voice, in a packed, quiet tube.

M: Oh no!

W: Yes, and everybody’s staring at me, and that did not help, er, matters. Anyway, I’ve got off the

And covered in blotches, spots .

Yes, and the pills that my mother had given me were so out-of-date that they had caused an

allergic reaction .

M: Oh! How embarrassing!

W: I know.
