Let's go Right, I'm eight a dollar 20 cab to an old brownstone house somewhere over in the West 40s way west in a district that had seen better days We were greeted at the door by a tall gray-haired old gentleman dressed in black except for his white gloves that some howry Might have me have appalled her come in mr. Singer and mr. Darla Terrible is about to begin Psychometry is the mood this evening follow. Oh, please How do you know our names? I had to give them to him when I made the appointment. Oh, what's this? Psychometry business thing. Oh Music gives me the creeps. Yeah Into the temple, please and be seated The temple turned out to be an old dining room Bear wooden floor heavy drapes over the windows and as nearly as I could see a bunch of chairs around in a circle filled with people The sockets in the ancient chandelier that hung from the ceiling had red bulbs in them that barely blow We could hardly see a thing Although I'm sure the light went up very slightly when we made our entrance and then down again as though somebody was controlling it with a rheostat Our eyes were almost used to the semi darkness by the time we seated ourselves in the circle Nobody spoke The weird music from that scratchy record was beginning to get on my nerves or put me to sleep or something I'm not quite sure what Then suddenly there was a flash of light and a puff of smoke and so helping What the sound Randy quiet this is all part of the act Greetings friends of the unknown friends of the mystics of boat and the Indian boy And the seventh son of the seventh son of Harish knew the mighty and then she stood in the center of the circle where the flash She stood there draped in what looked even in the dim light what looked like a slightly soil bed sheet pulled in around her ample middle With a hunk of coarse rope She wore a sort of turban or maybe it was just an old dish towel wrapped around her head The faint odor of gin pervaded the room I guess her feet were bare for she made no noise as she walked slowly around the circle holding on a shallow metal tray Taking a collection so soon. I wondered each of you place upon the tray some Object very close to you something you had had a long long time That has become a part of you You'll get it back and if the spirits are with us and there are no dissenting minds among us If boat and the Indian boy from the world beyond is willing to act as our control We shall learn many strange things this night Place something close to you upon the train Will this watch we all must not speak but keep the mood Keep the mood Are we all in the mood?

I feel the paramagnetic forces arising from it This belongs to a businessman South of here. I seem to see clothing hanging in a large warehouse Yes, yes and the sound of many machines sewing machines And many young girls working at the machine One by one she picked the objects off the tray held them in her hand and gave a kind of character reading of the owners Occasionally somebody in the circle would respond in a way that made it sound like she'd guessed right Other times she'd just make with a lot of generalities that could apply to anyone Finally she picked up my watch this watch. I see tall buildings of stone and strange signs on them I don't know what they mean Try mutual Universal adjustment Randy And I see great sheaves of papers carefully folded and on each one it says policy policy, I don't understand unless Insurance Fantastic, where does she get still when I play the watch is from a young man clever Energetic I will have many things to tell him at another time, but he must see me again often and Now this other object that lay beneath the watch. I see a police badge I Isn't gonna be a pinch if you'll just shut up and stand still a minute I wasn't doing no harm on this officer and and all the money goes to charity. All right. All right settle down Where's the light switch? I didn't ready. I'll never live this down now. Look officer You look Clarabel all we want is some answers to some questions and you won't pinch me out if you tell the truth Johnny, yeah, just how did you know so much about me?
