[mental telepathy] {n. phr.} The passing of one person’s thoughtsto another without any discoverable talking or carrying of signalsbetween them.
Mrs. Smith knew the moment her husband’s ship sank onthe other side of the world. It seems like a case of mentaltelepathy.
Most or all men who practice mental telepathy on stagehave really trained themselves to detect tiny clues from theaudience.
My best friend.
