Source text · mention only

Turning to Hill and myself, Moïse explained that in our trance-talk _we had given a perfect description of the Commandant’s house_. He was half crazed with excitement and nervous strain. It was “wonderful,” “marvellous,” “undoubted clairvoyance.” He congratulated us “from the base of his heart.” It was a “beautiful word-picture.” It was more—a “word-photograph”—and of a house we had never seen! It beat the photograph incident in _Raymond_ (Moïse, by the Spook’s orders, had just finished translating _Raymond_ to the Commandant), “for it was much more detailed.” He believed we were greater spiritualists than Sir Oliver Lodge. “Was it so?” “Was it not so?”
