On this occasion the control of the table seemed to improve as the sitting went on, owing presumably to increased practice on the part of the communicator, until towards the end, when there seemed to be some signs of weariness or incipient exhaustion; and, since the sitting lasted an hour and a half, tiredness is in no way surprising.
No further attempt was made to keep our identity from Mrs. Leonard: our name had been given away, as reported near the end of [Chapter VI].
Table Sitting with Mrs. Leonard, Tuesday, 28 September
1915, at 5.30 p.m.
Present—O. J. L., M. F. A. L., K. K., with Dr. Kennedy at another Table As Recorder
A small partly wicker table with a square top was used, about 18 inches square. O. J. L. and M. F. A. L. sat opposite to each other; K. K. and Mrs. Leonard occupied the other positions, Mrs. Leonard to the right of O. J. L. After four minutes' interval, the table began to tilt.
Medium.—Will you tilt three times to show you understand?
(It did.)
Medium.—Will you like to give your name?
(It gave three tilts indicating Yes.)
Medium.—Very well, then, the alphabet. Spell it, please.
