the master, and the reason for that is really rather beyond my 
analysis so far as that has gone at present. I do not know 
whether it is some kind of awakening of some faculty of the 
magical self, though that seems to me the simplest and most 
probable explanation; but in any case there is no doubt about 
the nature of the experience, and there can be no difficulty 
about the recognition of it when it occurs. 
It reminds me of the story of the Psychologist who wanted 
to judge 
the difference in temperament 
between an 
Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman, in judging the 
amount of Whisky in a bottle in the next room. They had to 
go in, report, and come back, and tell him what they thought 
about it. He filled it 50 percent with great accuracy. 
The Irishman came back fairly cheerful; he rubbed his 
hands; "Well, there 's half a bottle left, your honour ." 
When the Scotsman came back his face was full of gloom: 
"I'm afraid," he says, "that half a bottle has gone." 
Then the Englishman had his turn. He came in allover 
smiles, rubbing his hands, and said: "There's not a drop left, 
so that's that."
