Card Lores:Queen Mab

A fairy of dreams, invented by "Mercutio". Bringing to life the fantasies and longings of people who lie asleep, "Mab" was considered to be the fairies' midwife. She was no bigger than an agate stone, and her carriage, if anything, was equally unnoticeable. In the night, she would drive her atom-driven carriage over mens' noses as they lie fast asleep, and thus in this manner dreams would blossom in the mind. Sometimes, she would drive the carriage through lover's brains, and the lovers would immediately                      dream of love, over courtiers' knees, to which the courtiers dream on curtsies straight, over lawyer's fingers, and they dream of fees, and over ladies' lips, to which they dream of kisses. However, the last one happened to anger "Mab", and often she plagues them with blisters. Other times, she gallops over a courtier's nose, to which he dreams of smelling out a suit, tickles a parson's nose, to which he dreams of another benefice, and sometimes over a soldier's neck, causing him to dream of cutting foreign throats, breaches, ambushcadoes, Spanish blades, and very deep drinking- nearly five fathom deep- and suddenly, drums in his ear, to which he awakens, and seeing he wasn't in any real harm, swears a prayer or two, and falls back asleep. Whenever she wasn't causing dreams in the mind, "Mab" would plait the manes of horses whenever nighttime came, cake together bed-tangled hair- to which, once untangled, would bode misfortune- and teach ladies how to bear themselves properly when walking.
