This may as well be reported almost in full, in spite of unimportant
and introductory portions, since it seems fairer to give the context,
especially of unverifiable matter. But I feel bound to say that
there is divergence of opinion as to whether this particular record
ought to be published or not. I can only say that I recognise the
responsibility, and hope that I am right in partially accepting it.
_Non-Evidential Sitting of M. F. A. L. with Mrs. Leonard at her House
on Friday, 4 February 1916, from 8.30 p.m. to 11.10 p.m._
(M. F. A. L. alone.)
Feda.--Oh, it's Miss Olive!
M. F. A. L.--So glad to meet you, Feda!
Feda love you and Soliver best of all. SLionel and SAlec
too she love very much.
Yaymond is here. He has been all over the place with
Paulie, to all sorts of places to the mediums, to try and
get poor boys into touch with their mothers. Some are very
jealous of those who succeed. They try to get to their
mothers, and they can't--they are shut out. They make me
feel as though I could cry to see them. We explain that
their mothers and fathers don't know about communicating.
They say, why don't they all go to mediums?
Yaymond say, it makes me wonder too.
He say, he was telling Feda, it was awful funny the things
some of them did--it has a funny side, going to see the
mediums. You see, Paul and he couldn't help having a joke;
they are boys themselves, laughing over funny things.
He says he was listening to Paul, and he was describing
the drawing-room at home. (A good description was now
given of the drawing-room at Mariemont, which the medium
had never seen.)
Feda sees flowers; they're Feda's, not Gladys's.
[M. F. A. L. had brought flowers for Mrs. Leonard.]
M. F. A. L.--Don't you have flowers, then?
Yes, lots of flowers. But Feda like to have them in
Gladys's room. [Apparently this must be Mrs. Leonard's
name.]
There's a lot in prayer. Prayer keeps out evil things,
and keeps nice clean conditions. Raymond says, keeps out
devils.
Mother, I don't want to talk about material things, but
to satisfy anxiety. I was very uneasy on Monday night. I
tried to come near, but there was a band round me. We were
all there.
M. F. A. L.--The Zeppelins did come on Monday night, but they did not
touch us. [We went to bed and didn't worry about them.]
He says, they worked in a circular way, east and south of
you. Awful! He hoped it wouldn't upset you; he didn't want
them to come too close. I know you're not nervous, but I
fear for you. If he'd been on the earth plane, he'd have
been flying home. He says _New Street_ was the mark.
