A woman suffers a nervous breakdown and confinement
Description
Neville mentions, in passing while telling the story of a woman who recovered her stolen furniture, that the same woman had suffered a nervous breakdown about ten years before that episode -- serious enough to be confined as a 'violent case'. The memory resurfaced later when she noticed the barred door of a bank on Madison Avenue, which reminded her of her old confinement, just before she spotted the maid who had made off with her furniture.

Sudden death of Neville's friend Jean
Description
In answer to a question about desiring revelation, Neville recalls a friend named Jean, an author and TV writer who had known 'all the big shots' from the old days of vaudeville, who had dropped dead suddenly some three years before this July 1968 talk. He offers the death as an example of how little most people actually seek revelation, even while believing in taking God at His word.
