My name is Leete, Dr.Leete they call me." "My name," I said as I shook his hand, "is Julian West." "I am most happy in making your acquaintance, Mr.West," he responded.
"Seeing that this house is built on the site of your own, I hope you will find it easy to make yourself at home in it." After my refreshment Dr.Leete offered me a bath and a change of clothing, of which I gladly availed myself.
It did not appear that any very startling revolution in men's attire had been among the great changes my host had spoken of, for, barring a few details, my new habiliments did not puzzle me at all.
Physically, I was now myself again.

But mentally, how was it with me, the reader will doubtless wonder.

What were my intellectual sensations, he may wish to know, on finding myself so suddenly dropped as it were into a new world.

In reply let me ask him to suppose himself suddenly, in the twinkling of an eye, transported from earth, say, to Paradise or Hades.

What does he fancy would be his own experience?
Would his thoughts return at once to the earth he had just left, or would he, after the first shock, wellnigh forget his former life for a while, albeit to be remembered later, in the interest excited by his new surroundings?
All I can say is, that if his experience were at all like mine in the transition I am describing, the latter hypothesis would prove the correct one.
