Nine days after the VUE, Arris Fallacie
gave evidence of being a persistent dreamer of
water, Category One, Flight, which is nearly always illustrated by the
Bedfordshire Level Sequence from H.E. Carter's film The Last Wave. Questioned
for a description, Arris found no difficulty in identifying his dream with a
sample. At the time of the VUE, Arris was travelling home to London from
boarding school in Perth. He was sitting in a second-class non-smoking
compartment facing the engine. Both schoolboys developed identical VUE symptoms,
save that the school-friend spoke Carn-est-aero and Arris spoke Itino Re. The
language conversion was abrupt and complete. Their last collaborative work in
English had been a mild punishment. Arris began to spend more and more time
asleep. He developed a stammar round the letter H, a lung inflammation and a
shrinkage of the stomach wall. He was sent to be educated with a dietary
counsellor at the isolation hospital at Bryne Boars, Chesil Beach. But Arris
never arrived. For on the train journey, sleepingly
searching for the toilet to be sick, he opened the wrong door and
fell into the path of an oncoming train.
