Traum: Ich will ein Billet für Börse oder Parlament lösen; ein Glashäuschen, der Beamte freundlich. Bitte, Herr Doctor, schon ausgestellt. Ich verwundert.― Er: Liegt jeden Freitag da, für acht Tage.― Ich gehe einen (offnen) Gang gegen unten, er mündet sackgassenartig in ein großes Zimmer, wo ein unwirscher kleiner Beamter, der mich belehrt, auf ein Puppentheater weisend, mitten in der Stube. Zwei Figuren sitzend, Maria Theresia, und ihr Gatte (oder Kaiser Josef?); ich muß mich an die Stelle Maria Theresiens setzen; es gelingt mir zu meiner Verwunderung; auf meine weitre Frage antwortet der Beamte; dieses Theater werde immer in die Loge geschafft (Parlament),― neulich habe man der Kaiserin M. Th. von unten aus Beifall geklatscht und sie habe sich verbeugt.
