Is this so?”A.: “No; what I did was to walk two or three blocks, in the snow, from the hotel, when Iremembered that my stick had my name and address engraved upon it; so I returned and put thestick in my room.”M. P.: Yes; that was it. She gives you this as a test that she was with you on that evening.”This was my last psychic experience during this visit to America. I left the country feelingthat I had been amply repaid for the trouble of crossing the ocean. As regards clairvoyance andtrance mediumship, I thought the phenomena of far better quality than anything that can beobtained in this country, probably on account of the purity of the atmosphere and superiorelectrical conditions.I reached England in a frame of mind quite ready to receive the truths of spiritism if I couldfind evidences in any honest quarter.
