“We try constantly to help you with our greater knowledge, but some of you are easier to help than others.” This led to a question as to whether all our knowledge here is given to us from his plane, and he went on: “Not all. We help develop what you are willing to work for, if you are really sincere in wanting it. Sincerity is the crowning virtue.” We talked this over, and in the midst of our discussion he interrupted with a question of his own: “Mother dearest, are you getting tired?” She denied it, but he said, “She is tired,” and we talked no more that afternoon. III Shortly before dinner that night I picked up a pencil again, and “Mary Kendal” was immediately written. It had become customary for her to write her name both at the beginning and at the end of her communication, probably to avoid confusion with Frederick. “Manse is in New York,” she told us, repeating it several times. For some reason I questioned this, and she said: “You must not doubt. He is coming to-night.” “Are you happy, Mary?” Cass asked. “Very, especially now, since I am with you. You can reach Manzie.” Keenly sympathizing with her eagerness to reach her husband, from whom no word had come, he suggested telephoning to Mansfield at his club, but I demurred, feeling that, if he were there, he would receive my letters and communicate with us, unless, as I began to fear, he preferred not to approach the subject in any way. Repeatedly, however, Mary insisted “Call him up,” and Cass put in the long-distance call accordingly. “He is there.... He will answer,” she reiterated again and again, while we waited. It is impossible to make a fully accurate report of this interview. The messages were confused and broken, and there were many monosyllabic replies to questions not recorded. At one time we asked about Anne Lowe, and Mary said: “Anne is not here. She is a lovely character. She works for children.... Manse is not there.... Manse is out.... He will answer.... He is not there.” Eventually the long-distance operator reported that Mr. Kendal was not at his club and was not expected. I asked Mary why she had said that he was there, telling her that this was making me doubt my powers of correct transmission, to which she replied that this was better than too much credulity, adding: “Manse is there.... He is out of the club.... He must be there.” We called up the —— Club a second time and I talked to the clerk, who said Mansfield Kendal was not registered there, nor had they been notified that he was coming. Long afterward we learned that he had expected to be there at that time, but had been detained in the Northwest by business. Meanwhile, there was much confused writing from Mary. “Manse is in the club.... He is not there.... He must be there.... He is out.” Effort to write the name of a city was followed by, “Minneapolis recently.... Manse will be there soon.”
