NOTE C About Dartmoor, "he says something burst." Incidents referred to in a previous sitting, when I was there alone, were the running downhill, clapping on brake, and swirling round corners (p. 156); but all this was associated with, and partly caused by, the bursting of the silencer in the night after the hilly country had been reached. And it was the fearful noise subsequent to the bursting of the silencer that the boys had expected him to remember. NOTE D The best evidential thing, however, is on p. 212--a reference to a song of his called "My Orange Girl." If the name of the song merely had been given, though good enough, it would not have been quite so good, because the name of a song is common property. But the particular mode of describing it, in such a way as to puzzle Feda, namely, "an orange lady," making her think rather of a market woman, is characteristic of Raymond--especially the sentence about "extolling her virtues and beauties," which is not at all appropriate to Feda, and is exactly like Raymond. So is "Willie of the weary proclivities." The song "Irish Eyes" was also, I find, quite correct. It seems to have been a comparatively recent song, which he had sung several times. Again, the song described thus by Feda:-- "A funny song which starts Ma. But Feda can't see any more--like somebody's name." I find that the letters M A were pronounced separately--not as a word. To me the MA had suggested one of those nigger songs about 'Ma Honey'--the kind of song which may have been indicated by the word 'Hottentot' above. But, at a later table sitting at Mariemont, he was asked what song he meant by the letters M A, and then he spelt out clearly the name 'Maggie.' This song was apparently unknown to those at the table, but was recognised by Norah, who was in the room, though not at the table, as a still more recent song of Raymond's, about "Maggie Magee." (See Appendix also.) APPENDIX TO SITTING OF 21 DECEMBER 1915 (WRITTEN 3½ MONTHS LATER) (Dictated by O. J. L., 12 April 1916.) Last night the family were singing over some songs, and came across one which is obviously the one referred to in the above sitting of A. M. L. with Mrs. Leonard, held nearly four months ago, of which a portion ran thus (just before the reference to Orange Girl):-- "A. M. L.--What used he to sing? Hello--Hullalo--sounds like Hullulu,--Hullulo. Something about 'Hottentot'; but he is going back a long way, he thinks." References to other songs known to the family followed, but this reference to an unknown song was vaguely remembered by the family as a puzzle; and it existed in A. M. L.'s mind as "a song about 'Honolulu,'"--this being apparently the residual impression produced by the 'Hullulu' in combination with 'Hottentot'; but no Honolulu song was known.
