Lesson 4-2  Seeing hands

During these testsshe was able to read a newspaper through an opaque screen and, stranger still,by moving her elbow over a child's game of Lotto she was able to describe thefigures and colours printed on it; and, in another instance, wearing stockingsand slippers, to make out with her foot the outlines and colours of a picturehidden under a carpet. Other experiments showed that her knees and shouldershad a similar sensitivity. During all these tests Vera was blindfold; and,indeed, except when blindfold she lacked the ability to perceive things withher skin. It was also found that although she could perceive things with herfingers this ability ceased the moment her hands were wet.
