(“I have the impression of a steeple shape, or upside-down V shape, that is rather prominent.” To Jane the shapes of my fingers as outlined in pencil on the print, were steeple shapes. There are several V shapes on the print, and a prominent one between the thumb and forefinger. We are not sure why the upside-down reference to a V shape however. During the experiment I noticed that Jane held the rectangular test envelope to her forehead with its long axis roughly parallel to the floor; perhaps the folded object inside gave rise to the upside-down impression.
(Personal association also operated with this impression. It wasn’t until after the session ended that Jane realized that the “steeple shape,” and the “many people” data to follow, had reminded her of a childhood poem she hadn’t thought of in years. After the session she recited the little poem to me; it is done with hand gestures accompanying, the fingers of both hands interlocking in various positions. This is the poem: “Here is the church, here is the steeple. Open up the doors, and see all the people.”

(“Something low and something high, in contrast, to do with an understanding reached.” We think this is a reference to part of the technique in reading a hand; as described in the book it is not only necessary to consider the lines, but the “mounts”, which are the high points of flesh at the base of the fingers, the thumb, the heel of the hand, etc. Also the low spots or depressions are considered significant.

(“The darks horizontal,” Note the fold marks on the copy of the envelope object on page 327. When the object was folded and then held in a roughly horizontal position in the rectangular double envelope, the dark patterns of the fingers would be horizontal within the envelopes.
(“the verticals bright.” If this is a reference to the white spaces between the fingers of the print, then these would be horizontal also. We do not know why the vertical designation then.
