It was a rather complicated sitting, as it was mainly for Madame who was a novice in the subject. Towards the end unfortunately, though momentarily and not at all pronouncedly, she spoke to Lady Lodge by name. At these table sittings the medium, Mrs. Leonard, is not unconscious; accordingly she heard it in her normal self, and afterwards said that she had heard it. The following extracts from the early part of the sitting may be quoted here, as answers purporting to be spelt out by Raymond:-- QUESTIONS ANSWERS Are you lonely? No. Who is with you? Grandfather W. Have you anything to say to You know I can't help missing me? you, but I am learning to be happy. Have you any message for any Tell them I have many good of them? friends. Can you tell me the name of anyone Honor. [One of his sisters.] at home? (Other messages of affection and naturalness.) Have I enough to satisfy them No. at home? Is there anything you want to Tell father I have met some send? friends of his. Any name? Yes; Myers. Have you anything else to say? (No answer.) Is some one else there? Yes; Guy.

(After a welcome, Raymond was represented as sending this message:--) "I can speak easier than I could at the table, because you are helping all the time. It is easy when we are alone with you, but if I go there it confuses me a little.... I long to comfort them. Will you tell them that Raymond had been to you, and that Paul tells me I can come to you whenever I like? It is so good of you to let the boys all come...." "Paul tells me he has been here since he was seventeen; he is a jolly chap; every one seems fond of him. I don't wonder, for he helps every one. It seems a rule to call Paul if you get in a fix." (Then Paul said he was back, and wrote:--) "He is quite happy really since he finds he can get to his people. He has slept ever since last night, till I was told to fetch him to-night." (Asked about the French boys, Paul said:--)
