(_d_) A woman, speaking about a game invented by her children and called by them “the man in the box,” said “the manx in the boc.” I could readily understand her mistake. It was while analysing her dream, in which her husband is depicted as very generous in money matters--just the reverse of reality--that she made this speech-blunder. The day before she had asked for a new set of furs, which her husband denied her, claiming that he could not afford to spend so much money. She upbraided him for his stinginess, “for putting away so much into the strong-box,” and mentioned a friend whose husband has not nearly his income, and yet he presented his wife with a _mink_ coat for her birthday. The mistake is now comprehensible. The word _manx_ (_manks_) reduces itself to the “minks” which she longs for, and the _box_ refers to her husband’s stinginess. (_e_) A similar mechanism is shown in the mistake of another patient whose memory deserted her in the midst of a long-forgotten childish reminiscence. Her memory failed to inform her on what part of the body the prying and lustful hand of another had touched her. Soon thereafter she visited one of her friends, with whom she discussed summer homes. Asked where her cottage in M. was located, she answered, “Near the _mountain loin_” instead of “_mountain lane_.” (_f_) Another patient, whom I asked at the end of her visit how her uncle was, answered: “I don’t know, I only see him now _in flagranti_.” The following day she said, “I am really ashamed of myself for having given you yesterday such a stupid answer. Naturally you must have thought me a very uneducated person who always mistakes the meaning of foreign words. I wished to say _en passant_.” We did not know at the time where she got the incorrectly used foreign words, but during the same session she reproduced a reminiscence as a continuation of the theme from the previous day, in which being caught _in flagranti_ played the principal part. The mistake of the previous day had therefore anticipated the recollection, which at that time had not yet become conscious.
