Give her love to them at home, but also principally to mother. And say that she and her brother, not Raymond, have been also to the sittings at home. She is giving his name. She gives it in such a funny way, as if she was writing, so---- She wrote an N, then quickly changed it into a W. [See also pp. 134, 159, and 190.] She brings lilies with her; she is singing--it's like humming; Feda can't hear the words. She is going too--power is going. L. L.--Give my love to her. Feda sends her love also. Raymond was having a joke by not showing his face to Feda. Good-bye. (_Sitting ended at 1.30 p.m._) CHAPTER XV SITTING OF M. F. A. L. WITH MRS. LEONARD _Friday, 26 November 1915_ A few things may be reported from a sitting which Lady Lodge had with Mrs. Leonard on 26 November, however absurd they may seem. They are of course repeated by the childish control Feda, but I do not by that statement of bare fact intend to stigmatise them in any way. Criticism of unverifiable utterances seems to me premature. The sitting began without preliminaries as usual. It is not a particularly good one, and the notes are rather incomplete, especially near the end of the time, when Feda seemed to wander from the point, and when rather tedious descriptions of people began. These are omitted. _Sitting of M. F. A. L. with Mrs. Leonard at her house on Friday, 26 November 1915, from 3 to 4.30 p.m._ (No one else present.) (The sitting began with a statement from Feda that she liked Lionel, and that Raymond had taken her down to his home. Then she reported that Raymond said:--) "Mother darling, I am so happy, and so much more so because you are." M. F. A. L.--Yes, we are; and as your father says, we can face Christmas now. Raymond says he will be there. M. F. A. L.--We will put a chair for him. Yes, he will come and sit in it. He wants to strike a bargain with you. He says, "If I come there, there must be no sadness. I don't want to be a ghost at the feast. There mustn't be one sigh. Please, darling, keep them in order, rally them up. Don't let them. If they do, I shall have the hump." (Feda, _sotto voce_.--'hump,' what he say.) M. F. A. L.--We will all drink his health and happiness. Yes, you can think I am wishing you health too. M. F. A. L.--We were interested in hearing about his clothes and things; we can't think how he gets them! [The reference is to a second sitting of Lionel, not available for publication.] They are all man-u-fac-tured. [Feda stumbling over long words.]
