212 DATE WITH THE GODS
Rama and I had found a comfortable spot, near the
river. I opened the conversation by saying, "You'll be
pleased to know that I've done a good piece of investiga
tion on this Fatima incident. I gathered all kinds of
information, including this," and I handed her a copy of
Renzo Baschera's paper.
"Good boy," she said. "Now we can have an intelligent
conversation in a civilized manner."
I had known she would be pleased, since she made a
point of letting me know she didn't want to be bothered
with the hassle of small details that were available to me
through research. Her comment also let me know that
she knew my smart-aleck attitude was a ruse to cover
my lack of knowledge on the subjects we had been
discussing.
I said, "Yesterday, when we were talking about the
antichrist, and what is going to be happening here
during the apocalyptical moments of the Earth, I was
thinking about this Fatima message. You told me that we
wouldn't get into it unless I started behaving like a
civilized human being."
"Quite right. Despite all our kidding around, this is the
one time I'm asking you to be very serious. I'll give you
straight answers because we want this published, don't
we. 7"
"If you say so."
"And remember, when you write, include no names."
"I've got you covered on that."
"With the knowledge you already have, it's not
difficult to spot the elements that were present during
the Fatima events, the coming and going of the cloud,
the bright light."
"I've no doubt in my mind; it was someone from
another world. I found this book written in Portuguese,
entitled, Era uma Senhora Mais Brich'ante que a Sol, by J.
Demarchi. In English, the title means, 'She was a lady
shining brighter than the sun."'
