There is some one here with a little difficulty; not fully
built up; youngish looking; form more like an outline;
he has not completely learnt how to build up as yet.
Is a young man, rather above the medium height; rather
well-built, not thick-set or heavy, but well-built. He
holds himself up well. He has not been over long. His
hair is between colours. He is not easy to describe,
because he is not building himself up so solid as some
do. He has greyish eyes; hair brown, short at the sides;
a fine-shaped head; eyebrows also brown, not much arched;
nice-shaped nose, fairly straight, broader at the nostrils
a little; a nice-shaped mouth, a good-sized mouth it is,
but it does not look large because he holds the lips
nicely together; chin not heavy; face oval. He is not
built up quite clearly, but it feels as if Feda knew him.
He must have been here waiting for you. Now he looks at
Feda and smiles; now he laughs, he is having a joke with
Feda, and Paulie laughs too. Paul says he has been here
before, and that Paul brought him. But Feda sees many
hundreds of people, but they tell me this one has been
brought quite lately. Yes, I have seen him before. Feda
remembers a letter with him too. R, that is to do with him.
(Then Feda murmured, as if to herself, "Try and give me
another letter.") (Pause.)
It is a funny name, not Robert or Richard. He is not
giving the rest of it, but says R again; it is from him.
He wants to know where his mother is; he is looking for
her; he does not understand why she is not here.
O. J. L.--Tell him he will see her this afternoon, and that she is
not here this morning, because she wants to meet him this afternoon
at three o'clock.
[Meaning through another medium, namely Peters. But that,
of course, was not said.]
He has been to see you before, and he says that once he
thought you knew he was there, and that two or three times
he was not quite sure. Feda gets it mostly by impression;
it is not always what he says, but what she gets; but Feda
says "he says," because she gets it from him somehow.[12]
He finds it difficult, he says, but he has got so many
kind friends helping him. He didn't think when he waked up
first that he was going to be happy, but now he is, and he
says he is going to be happier. He knows that as soon as
he is a little more ready, he has got a great deal of work
to do. "I almost wonder," he says, "shall I be fit and
able to do it. They tell me I shall."
[_And so on as reported in Chapter III._]
