The reading stopped at "The friends we love are by
our side and the foes we hate before us" (12.524).
A ghost made an appearance in this chapter ("In the darkness spirit hands were felt to flutter … " (12.338). Dignam came back -- which prompted Catherine Meyer to try to capture some of the scene visually. Note the distinctive feature of her mirror writing (Catherine writes with both hands at the same time, in two directions, and in mirror).
Of the drawing she says:
"Although ghosts are not paintable because they are invisible I painted a stereotyped ghost in the return room (Fritz Senn likes this word, because in French "ce sont les revenants"). The immortal soul is at the right hand side of the picture under the bed waiting to be soled. (The boot has to be soled.)"
