In the same days-before-death phone call, Neville — in Carter's retrospective reading, announcing his coming death — told Carter the Mrs. Murphy joke about the bottle of Lourdes 'holy water' that turned out to be scotch; Carter did not get it at the time. [Date evidence: a few days before Neville's last dinner party — c. late September 1972] [Place: telephone call]

  1. c. September 1972 estimated · probable · preferred
    Source Neville Goddard The Frank Carter Lectures ¶13Passage 98101 places the call 'a few days before our dinner party'; the complete narrative places the dinner immediately before Neville's 1972-10-01 departure.
    Why No exact day inferred.
    Reasoning A call a few days before the final dinner preceding 1 October 1972 falls in late September 1972. The text does not identify the calendar day, so month precision with circa qualification is the narrowest defensible claim.

Verbatim (witness's words)

And he said, do you want to hear my story? I said, yes. He said, Mrs. Murphy went off to Lourdes to see the holy relics, the crutches and the braces. ... So he opened it, he sniffed at it, he tasted it, and he said, Mrs. Murphy, this is not a bottle of holy water. This is a bottle of scotch. She said, down on your knees, man, and pray to the Holy Father. It's another miracle. So that is the way he announced his coming death, by telling a joke. I didn't get it.

Neville (as quoted): "Mrs. Murphy went off to Lourdes to see the holy relics, the crutches and the braces. ... Mrs. Murphy, this is not a bottle of holy water. This is a bottle of scotch. She said, down on your knees, man, and pray to the Holy Father. It's another miracle."

    Reasoning The exact passage belongs to Carter lecture 5, whose catalog date is 31 October 1976. Because the date comes from segment identification rather than an inline dateline, the told row is typed estimated.
