Or suppose you decide that the handwriting is not that of your old friend-only one very similar. The same might have happened if you suddenly had got hold of his photograph, or heard his voice, or descried his hurrying shape through a crowd, or perceived, perhaps, the odour of a hair tonic which he used. What has happened? The handwriting of a person you know has suggested to you his image. Yet you may not have seen him or thought of him for five years.
Suddenly you decide that you know it-it’s that of a chap you used to know-his name is Peter Smith, a big burly fellow with a lazy gait, reddish hair and-In a flash Peter Smith stands before your mind’s eyes-his face, his figure, his gait, his whole personality. You try to remember whether you have seen the handwriting before. WHEN in the morning the postman hands you a letter, the first thing you probably do is to examine the address.
