The only trouble with this theory is that if there is an excellent relationship between the father and subject, it doesn't necessarily mean that the subject will respond easily. The stage hypnotist invariably uses a strong, authoritative approach with a great deal of success, but this approach generally does not work best in private practice.
An explanation that nothing was wrong somehow did not satisfy these individuals. "After all," they argued, "didn't I go to a hypnotist especially to be hypnotized?" Some insinuated that perhaps the hypnotist wasn't too good.
He has as they say in the romances good looks. He is quite young and very eccentric. Affects the antique he can read and write! So can she. And instead of communicating by telephone, like sensible people, they write and deliver what is it?" "No not notes.... Ah poems." The hypnotist raised his eyebrows. "How did she meet him?"
"I had intended her to marry a very good friend of mine Bindon of the Lighting Commission plain little man, you know, and a bit unpleasant in some of his ways, but an excellent fellow really an excellent fellow." "Yes," said the hypnotist, "go on. How old is she?" "Eighteen." "A dangerous age. Well?" "Well: it seems that she has been indulging in these historical romances excessively. Excessively.

'That, said Sydney in my ear, 'is the voice and that is the manner of a hypnotised man, but, on the other hand, a person under influence generally responds only to the hypnotist, which is another feature about our peculiar friend which arouses my suspicions. Then, aloud, 'Don't stand there like an idiot, come inside. Again Mr Holt made an apparently futile effort to do as he was bid.
Upon this the French surgeons agreed, but his heart action was so bad that they dared not administer an anæsthetic, and one of them, who was a noted hypnotist, expressed a doubt whether he would be able to rouse the patient from a hypnosis sufficiently profound to enable them to perform the operation.
