“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Jane and I certainly don’t think the fact that Frank and Mrs. Miller know Louise Akins was the reason the Millers moved next door to us, yet it is one factor to be considered among a myriad of others — money, availability, and so forth. Why did Jane and I move into a neighborhood in which such a house connection could develop to begin with? Why was Frank Corio assigned the task of selling the house next door to us? Why did the Millers encounter him at just that particular time, and why was he, of all the real estate agents in Elmira, the one who succeeded in selling them the house they bought?

Frank is also in real estate, although he has no professional associations with the Johnsons, Debbie, or the agency through which we bought the hill house. The house west of us became vacant this year in early summer. In the fall Frank Corio was given the job of selling the place, and soon did so — to a family, the Millers, who were moving to Elmira from a distant state. Next, Jane and I found out from Mrs. Miller that she too knows Louise Akins.

The odds against such a “coincidence” developing would be astronomical — except that the Millers had lived in a neighborhood close to the hill house several years ago (when the acquaintanceship with Louise Akins had been made), had moved out of state, then returned to buy the house next door to us. The house connection is still unique, however, considering that in the hill house Jane and I found ourselves bracketed east and west by people who knew one of her early students — who had in turn mentioned Jane to them. Interesting, that Frank Corio had been instrumental in bringing the Millers back to their favorite neighborhood, when in a city the size of Elmira there are at any time a number of homes for sale in “desirable” neighborhoods, including “ours.”

(Jane said her mother does have a friend, Mary Miller, who did housekeeping for Jane and her mother when Jane was perhaps seven years old. Mary Miller is still alive. [...] Mary Miller is the same age as Jane’s mother.

One small rather insignificant point, Joseph: the man for whom Ruburt works—the name, Miller—is also the name of one of his mother’s old friends, though she was a woman. [...]

[...] The object was a memo slip from the Jewish Community Center in Elmira; from the desk of Gladys H. Austin, secretary to the Center’s director, Mr. Miller. [...]

[...] She was given an appointment with Mr. Miller for Tuesday, November 8, by Gladys Austin. [...]

[...] Gladys, as Mr. Miller’s secretary, served as a go-between, Jane said, between Jane, Nancy Methinitus, and Mr.Miller. [...]

Ruburt’s Mr. Miller should definitely be contacted.

[...] Lives on Miller Pond now.)

He should give notice to his Mr. Miller by August first, at the latest, if not earlier. [...]

I recommend that he serve his notice to his Mr. Miller, though he on his own does not feel quite ready to do so. [...]
