You never thought it was to be like this. (Peters went on talking glibly, and there was no need for the sitter to say anything.)
There is a gentleman here who is on the other side—he went very suddenly. Fairly tall, rather broad, upright (here the medium sat up very straight and squared his shoulders)—rather long face, fairly long nose, lips full, moustache, nice teeth, quick and active, strong sense of humour—he could always laugh, keen sense of affection.
He went over into the spirit world very quickly. There is no idea of death because it was so sudden, with no illness.
Do you know anything connected with the letter L? (No answer was given to this.)
What I am going to say now is from Paul—he says: "Tell mother it is not one L, it is double L." He says: "Tell mother she always loved a riddle"—he laughs. (L. L. and K. K. both said they could not understand.[13] 'Moonstone' continued:—)

He is reticent and yet he told you a tremendous lot.
