ORDINARY CLAIRVOYANCE, 77
with your wife, and you joined us. This was the first time I had spoken to you. Whilst having tea you asked me—
“Are, or were, any of your relations in the Army?”
Without thinking I replied, “No!” and after a pause added, “Oh! yes, my first husband was a soldier.”
“Oh!” you replied, “I thought so, because I see a soldier behind your chair.”
A few minutes afterwards you said, “When your husband was thinking did he walk up and down like this?”’ Here you imitated his action correctly,
“Oh! yes, he did,” I said.
We then went out on the verandah, and whilst sitting there talking you described a female spirit to me, and added—
“She used to live in the country.” From your description I recognized an aunt of mine who used to live in the country.
A little while later you said to me, “ Have you ever suffered from an illness that caused you pain here ?”—laying your hand on your side.
I said, “Yes! and you have correctly described the pain and symptoms from which I had suffered.”
Yours truly, H, BENNETT.
