There are two spirits standing by you; the elder is fully built up, but the younger is not clear yet.
The elder is on the tall side, and well built; he has a beard round his chin, but no moustache.
(This seemed to worry Feda, and she repeated it several times, as if trying to make it clear.)
A beard round chin, and hair at the sides, but upper lip shaved. A good forehead, eyebrows heavy and rather straight—not arched—eyes greyish; hair thin on top, and grey at the sides and back. It looks as if it had been brown before it went grey. A fine-looking face. He is building up something. He suffered here before he passed out (medium indicating chest or stomach). Letter W is held up. (See photograph facing p. [258].)
[This is the one that to other members of the family had been called Grandfather W., p. [143].]
There is another spirit.
Somebody is laughing.
Don't joke—it is serious.
(This was whispered, and sounded as if said to some one else, not to me.)
It's a young man, about twenty-three, or might be twenty-five, judging only by appearance. Tall; well-built; not stout, well-built; brown hair, short at the sides and back; clean shaven; face more oval than round; nose not quite straight, rather rounded, and broader at the nostrils.
