娱乐性解释:
To dream of a Quaker, denotes that you will have faithful friends and fair business. If you are one, you will deport yourself honorably toward an enemy. For a young woman to attend a Quaker meeting, portends that she will by her modest manners win a faithful husband who will provide well for her household.
