Here M. L. ejaculated: "Dear Raymond," and sighed unconsciously.

The table spelt—it being understood that Raymond had now taken control:—

DO NOT SIGH.

M. F. A. L.—Was I sighing?

O. J. L.—Yes, but you must not be so distressed; he doesn't like it. He is there all right, and I am glad to have some one on the other side.

Yes.

O. J. L.—Raymond, your mother is much happier now.

Yes.

O. J. L.—Now then, shall I ask you questions?

Yes.
