<blockquote>Why did this dream plague him? At least five times in as many months. It was typical for an U.N.C.L.E. agent to dream of his partner falling amid a hail of bullets or in any of a dozen other violent scenarios. But why did he keep dreaming of Napoleon dying next to him in bed? Illya never told his lover about the dreams, perhaps fearing the power of suggestion or the temptation of fate, or simply Napoleon's sarcasm. But they disturbed him, and he wanted them to stop. </blockquote>
