On April 11 Lincoln, Mrs Lincoln and two friends were spending night in talk, when Lincoln suddenly began to discuss his dreams. “I had one the other night. About 10 days ago I went to bed very
36 . I had been up
37 for important letters from the White House for a long time. I could not have been
38 in bed when I fell into sleep. I soon began to 39 . There seemed to be a dead silence about me. Then I heard sobs(抽泣)，
40 a number of people were weeping. I thought I left my bed and 41 downstairs. There the silence was broken by some pitiful(令人可怜的) sobbing, but the mourners(送葬者)were
42 .I went from room to room, no living person was in sight; but the same mournful sounds of distress(悲痛) met me as I
43 along. It was light in all the rooms;
44 was well known to me，but
45 were all the people who were sobbing as if their hearts would
46 ? I was puzzled and frightened. What could be the
47 of all this? I kept on walking until I arrived at the East Room, which I
48 . Before me was a dead body. Around it were soldiers who were acting as
49 ; there were some people
50 pitifully. ‘‘Who is dead in the White House?” I asked.
“The president，” was the answer.
“It’s
51 !”I said to myself and was surprised. How did he die?”
“He was killed by an assassinator (暗杀者)!” was the answer.
“
52 came a loud burst of crying from the crowd，which woke me from my dream. I slept
53 that night, and although it was
54 a dream I have been rather angry about it 55 .”
