minutes.
A few days later a certain Mrs. G., a friend of the lady in question, received a letter from her which mentioned the fact that Mr. Wilson had called at the house in her absence, and had left without returning, after, she was informed, asking the maid for a glass of water.
TMs, she said, caused her much annoyance, as she particularly wished to see him.
Mr. Wilson, on being shown the letter, declared that he had not been at Hamilton for a whole month. However, recalling his dream, he asked Mrs. G. to write to their mutual friend on the matter, requesting, at the same time, that nothing on the subject should be mentioned to the servants.
He thereupon paid a visit to Hamilton in company with some friends, and they took the opportunity to call together at the house of the lady in question. Two of the maid-servants at once recognized Mr. Wilson as the gentleman who had previously called, and who had drunk in the house the glass of water they had brought him; an incident of which, as has been said, they had informed their mistress.
Of course the only strange feature in the story is the water-drinking, and it is very hard to imagine what becomes of water drunk by an Etheric Double. But then it is equally hard to imagine what becomes of water drunk by a materialized form which, the next moment, may vanish, water and all, into the floor.
I should very much like to include here a story told by Robert Vale Owen in The Debatable Land, but unfortunately the Etheric Double of Miss Cecilia L. was accompanied across America by the spirit of her just departed sister, and its introduction might be regarded as spiritualistic propaganda. It
