As he placed the twigs carefully on a shelf above the sink, he glanced round at her, but she went on sewing, and never said a word. So after rearranging the twigs once or twice, and coughing, he muttered:'Ay, them'll last me till Michaelmas to cletter the dishes wi' - there's nothin' like a thorn twig for cletterin' dishes.

Når man isolerer de klarsynte fra klientene deres, klarer de ikke å ta inn informasjon fra klientenes klesdrakt eller atferd"..."Resultatet er at den høye suksessraten som de klarsynte vanligvis oppnår, plutselig ramler helt sammen, og i stedet kommer sannheten frem - suksessen er basert på en fascinerende bruk av psykologi, og ikke på tilstedeværelsen av paranormale evner."
