"And your mind would hold to its former decision?"
"Oh, no; not necessarily. I mean that my memory would retain the fact that I had formerly decided the matter."
"And in your recovered state you might reverse a decision made while in a lapse?"
"Certainly."
"But the undoubted truths, or material facts, as some people call them, would still be undoubted?"
"Yes."
"And objects seen while in a 'state' will be remembered by you when you recover?"
"Vividly; if I could draw, I could draw them as well as if they were present."
"It would not be wrong, then, to say that what you lose in one period you gain in another? that what you lose in things doubtful you gain in intensity of fact?"
"Certainly not wrong, though I cannot say that the loss of one causes the gain of the other."
