(See Virgin.) If you dream you are pleased with a pretty chambermaid, milkmaid, or any nice-looking young girl, whose occupation carries with it the title of maid, it is a good omen, for it predicts an excellent match, and plenty of children: it also foretells, in many cases, that the dreamer will marry a rich wife.

To dream you obtain a young maid, signifies joy. To dream you take away a maid by force, signifies sorrow.
