ed what a peculiar
expression passed over his sister's face when she looked into mine for
the first time. She had a dreamy, far-away look about her, and then
again I noticed later that she had the very opposite expression on her
physiognomy, being all 'right here'; intensely so, taking in everything
around her. I was very much attracted towards her in this way, not as a
youth would be towards a maiden--there was none of that feeling
whatever. I felt she was a mystic, a powerful one, and she interested me
greatly. When sitting in the room with all the members of the family, I
noticed at times she would eye me very closely; and if I returned the
gaze I saw such an expression in her face as if she did not belong here
at all, but was living on some other planet. She talked very little, and
such a thing as my coming near to her in conversation, or her saying
anything to bring herself near to me, was not to be expected, with her
peculiar makeup, and yet when she would give me her hand in receiving
me, she had such a peculiar sweet way of welcoming me, that one might

she was so superior in her makeup to all her kind. Her features were
finely moulded, and her whole contour was perfect. She had a wonderful
presence; so much silent power went with it. I could not help being
conscious of it when in the room with her. I felt as if something of an
elevating nature was coming from her to me all the time. I always felt a
better man after having been in her company. And before I attained to
the plane I am now on, when at times I would be depressed or discouraged
and went into her presence with those feelings, it would not be long
before they left me and I felt as if I was the strongest and most
hopeful man living. She being the most powerful of the two brought me
into her condition and made me feel strong, like a giant refreshed
