The Dreams

Dream 182

Madam “S”—my old friend’s wife and my former fiancée — accosted me. “You’re the cause of my husband’s bankruptcy,” she scolded me.

I explained that he had told me of an idea that I found suitable as the basis for a film. But he stubbornly insisted upon writing the scenario alone, and financing it with his own limited money — then went bust as a result.

“It was your duty to guide him properly,” she replied. I answered that I had given him a great deal of good advice, but he would accept nothing less than error.
