9. _Agt._, an open fan (Fig. 102); _Per._, a drawing represented by
Figure 102a, accompanied by the script, “Inside seems irregular, as if
cloth draped or crumpled.” Two words, “cloth,” and “draped,” suggest
what takes place as one begins to shut a fan, though the drawing is an
incorrect representation.
10. _Agt._, the figures 13 (Fig. 103); _Per._, (1) what would be a 3 but
for a supernumerary curve, (2) a 3 (Fig. 103a).
11. _Agt._, a conventional heart (Fig. 105); _Per._, practically the
upper part of such a heart, with three spots which may or may not
represent blood-drops, according to Mr. Sinclair’s conjecture (Fig.
105a). We can hardly contend, as an evidential point, that this is the
meaning of the round spots. Some obscure subconscious recollection of
expressions like “My heart bleeds,” expressing suffering, may have come
out in the drawing, though in that case one wonders why the whole heart
was not drawn. But it may be that the three marks proceeding in the
direction of the right side of the original came from a feeling that
_something_ should line in that direction.
12. _Agt._, a broom (Fig. 104); _Per._, several attempts all more or
less resembling the original (Figs. 104a, 104b), and a valuable script:
“All I’m sure of is a straight line with something curved at the end of
it [and this description, _all that she was sure of_, is so far
correct]; once it came [here see the drawing at the left]—then it
doubled, or reappeared, I don’t know which [referring to the upper right
drawing] (am not sure of the curly edges) [and she was justified in her
doubt. Probably the curly edges resulted from the intermingling of her
surmise that the curved something at the end of a line might be a
flower]. Then it was upside down.”
Series of February 8, 1929
Tests with drawings in carefully sealed envelopes.
1. _Agt._, a coiled snake (Fig. 45); _Per._, no drawing, but this
script: “See something like kitten with tail and saucer of milk. Now it
leaps into action and runs away to outdoors. Turns to fleeing animal
outdoors. Great activity among outdoor creatures. Know it’s some outdoor
thing, not indoor object—see trees, and a frightened bird on the wing
(turned sidewise). It’s outdoor thing, but none of above seems to be
_it_.”
