He next took my face between his hands, and putting his nose within an inch of mine, stared into my eyes with all his might.
At first I was inclined to laugh, but before long the most curious sensations took hold of me.

They commenced with a thrill which passed all up my body, and next all feeling save the consciousness of the loud beating of my heart ceased.

Then it seemed that boy's eyes were inside my head and not outside, while along with them an intangible something pervaded my brain.

The sensation at first was like the application of ether to the skin--a cool, numbing emotion.

It was followed by a curious tingling feeling, as some dormant cells in my mind answered to the thought-transfer, and were filled and fertilised! My other brain-cells most distinctly felt the vitalising of their companions, and for about a minute I experienced extreme nausea and a headache such as comes from over-study, though both passed swiftly off.
