Gentleman shares two testimonies with Neville
Description
A gentleman told Neville two stories that week. In the first, about ten days earlier his wife had learned that a fourteen-month-old girl had developed lumps on her neck that three specialists separately diagnosed as cancer, though one doctor questioned the verdict. In the second, driving home from work one evening while worrying about taxes, the man imagined a shower of lovely green, crisp currency raining down on him for about a minute, then forgot about it until an unusual turn of events involving his boss on the morning of April 15th.

He read the account in a letter, and the first woman has since passed the eyes on to the woman sitting beside her tonight.
