“‘A fortnight ago,’ said her mother, ‘Dolly could not call things by
their proper names, and often did not know us. Bread was “soft, white
stuff,” fish was “white stuff with needles in it,” nut-milk chocolate
she asked for as “lumpy sweet.”
“‘Now she can bath herself and is not an invalid at all. Often during
her long illness her temperature went up to 105.’
“Miss Kerin shakes hands firmly, and her palm has a touch that is quite
normal. Scores of doctors have already sought permission to see her. The
history of her case is well known to the profession.
“The Rev. A. J. Waldron, vicar of the adjoining parish of St. Matthew’s,
Brixton, visited her yesterday and is making arrangements to have her
moved at once to a nursing home, where she can have privacy and quiet,
with country air.
“Miss Kerin has no hectic flush, and declared yesterday that she did not
feel a bit tired. But there is little doubt she requires careful
supervision to prevent any relapse.”
I am informed by her brother, Mr. G. Kerin, that during her illness, and
especially during the later stages, when her normal faculties showed
signs of decline, that Miss Kerin developed some super-normal powers.
She was able, for instance, to give an accurate account of incidents
happening in connection with her brother while at a distance from home.
The greatest care had to be observed by those in the house when speaking
of her, as she could always hear what was said in another room, although
she appeared deaf to those who spoke aloud in her presence. There is, in
fact, evidence that she developed the telesthesic sense during the later
stages of her illness, but also that she lost this faculty just before
her recovery.
