On this occasion the control of the table seemed to improve as the sitting went on, owing presumably to increased practice on the part of the communicator, until towards the end, when there seemed to be some signs of weariness or incipient exhaustion; and, since the sitting lasted an hour and a half, tiredness is in no way surprising. No further attempt was made to keep our identity from Mrs. Leonard: our name had been given away, as reported near the end of Chapter VI. _Table Sitting with Mrs. Leonard, Tuesday, 28 September 1915, at 5.30 p.m._ _Present_--O. J. L., M. F. A. L., K. K., with DR. KENNEDY AT ANOTHER TABLE AS RECORDER A small partly wicker table with a square top was used, about 18 inches square. O. J. L. and M. F. A. L. sat opposite to each other; K. K. and Mrs. Leonard occupied the other positions, Mrs. Leonard to the right of O. J. L. After four minutes' interval, the table began to tilt. _Medium._--Will you tilt three times to show you understand? (It did.) _Medium._--Will you like to give your name? (It gave three tilts indicating Yes.) _Medium._--Very well, then, the alphabet. Spell it, please. (Mrs. Leonard here repeated the alphabet fairly quickly, while the table tilted slightly at each letter as it was said, stopping first at the letter P then at the letter A then U then L. O. J. L.--Yes, very well, Paul; we know who you are, and you know who we are, and we know that you have brought Raymond, and have come to help. YES. O. J. L.--We that are here know about this, and you have given us evidence already, but I am here to get evidence for the family. YES. O. J. L.--Would you like to say something first, before I ask a question? (Silence.) Then the table moved and shook a little, indicating that it wanted the alphabet; and when the medium recited the letters, it spelt out in the same manner as before, _i.e._ by stopping at the one desired by whatever intelligence was controlling the table:-- RAYMOND WANTS TO COME HIMSELF. Here M. L. ejaculated: "Dear Raymond," and sighed unconsciously. The table spelt--it being understood that Raymond had now taken control:-- DO NOT SIGH. M. F. A. L.--Was I sighing? O. J. L.--Yes, but you must not be so distressed; he doesn't like it. He is there all right, and I am glad to have some one on the other side. YES. O. J. L.--Raymond, your mother is much happier now. YES. O. J. L.--Now then, shall I ask you questions? YES. O. J. L.--Well now, wait a minute and take your time, and I will ask the first question:-- "What did the boys call you?" The medium now again repeated the alphabet, the table tilting to each letter as before, first stopping at P then at A then at P again; it then shook as if something was wrong. O. J. L.--Very well, try again, begin once more.
