(After supper I trimmed Jane’s finger and toenails. She’d picked up a few suggestions from Seth during the day—among them that we should just forget words like “arthritis.” Jane agreed that perhaps we could have a very short session. I got my notebook and pens, and Jane said that at the same time she thought of a session, she “got that dozing-off feeling thing....”
(My own moods have been poor lately, and it’s been a struggle to revive myself at times and to try to keep them from influencing Jane, for I can see that they do.

(Long pause at 8:50. Now Jane’s delivery began to slow up considerably. She gave signs of starting to doze in her chair at times, although I could tell that she was still in trance. When she takes many long pauses punctuation becomes more difficult, and as Seth she’s more apt to skip an occasional word, which complicates things. Sometimes I catch the lapse while making notes, and ask about it. At other times I too miss out.)

(When I explained the situation to Jane she was puzzled. “I don’t know what happened,” she said, “but I don’t like it.... as though I had a charge of energy for the session, and used it up before I got finished.” I agreed that it appeared that way. She added that she knew Seth had had more things to say. It had seemed to me that she’d been asleep briefly several times.)
