"... I had been rather closely engaged on some auditing work, which had tired me, and as near as I can remember the time was between 3.30 and 4 P.M. that I laid down my pencil, stretched myself, and in the act of doing the latter I was seized with the impulse to make a trial on Miss G. I did not, of course, know where she was at the moment, but, with a flash, as it were, I transferred myself to her bedroom. I cannot say why I thought of that spot, unless it was that I did so because my first experiment had been made there--_i.e._, on the previous night, the 10th June. As it happened, it was what I must call a 'lucky shot,' for I caught her at the moment she was lightly sleeping in her chair--a condition which seems to be peculiarly favourable to receiving and externalising telepathic messages. "The figure seen by Miss G. was clothed in a suit I was at the moment wearing, and was _bareheaded_, the latter as would be the case, of course, in an office. This suit is of a dark reddish-brown _check_ stuff, and it was an unusual circumstance for me to have had on the _coat_ at the time, as I wear, as a rule, an office coat of _light_ material. But this office coat I had, a day or so before, sent to a tailor to be repaired, and I had, therefore, to keep on that belonging to the dark suit. "I tested the reality of the vision by this dark suit. I asked, 'How was I dressed?' (not at all a leading question). The reply of Miss G. was, touching the sleeve of the coat I was then wearing (of a _light_ suit), 'Not this coat, but that dark suit you wear sometimes. I even saw clearly the _small check_ pattern of it; and I saw your features as plainly as though you had been bodily present. I _could not_ have seen you more distinctly.'" Miss G.'s account is:-- "_June_ 28_th_, 1890. "A peculiar occurrence happened to me on the Wednesday of the week before last. In the afternoon (being tired by a morning walk), while sitting in an easy-chair near the window of my own room, I fell asleep. At any time I happen to sleep during the day (which is but seldom) I invariably awake with tired, uncomfortable sensations, which take some little time to pass off; but that afternoon, on the contrary, I was suddenly quite wide awake, seeing Mr. Kirk standing near my chair, dressed in a dark brown coat, which I had frequently seen him wear. His back was towards the window, his right hand towards me; he passed across the room towards the door, which is opposite the window, the space between being 15 feet, the furniture so arranged as to leave just that centre clear; but when he got about 4 feet from the door, which was closed, he disappeared. * * * * *
