Fireplace Vanishes
In 1918 Mrs R. Eadie, staying in London, .was nursing a friend who had contracted the Spanish flu which had swept across Europe. Her friend lived in Addison Buildings, a large family house which had been converted into flats.
One night she was in the sitting room, facing the fireplace. As she looked up, ‘the wall containing the fireplace vanished; the room had opened out into a large high-ceilinged reception room.
The salon was filled with ladies and gentlemen; the latter wore knee-length, full-skirted coats of every variety and colour; white knee-breeches, white silk stockings with black buckled shoes. Their hair was worn in a queue and powdered.’ Mrs Eadie describes in detail the dress of a former age: three-cornered hats, low-cut bodices, lace dresses and so on.
Suddenly the scene vanished and the room returned to normal. Whether or not Mrs Eadie had had a waking dream, perhaps relating to the book she was reading, is uncertain; what is clear is
that she felt sufficiently moved by the experience to write about it
many years later
