Given that Fred's family dabbled in various practices and beliefs, and Miss Leg's wondering about her 'past life', she was prompted to buy this gift for him.

From the 2001 EFB Birthday Costume Party:
"Have you guessed who I am? Remember the discussion at Mrs. Mantrip's luncheon table where the other neighbors in the Square were invited to meet me after my arrival?"
"Lady Eva, Captain Lowndes, Mrs. Elizabeth Conklin, Mr. Jimmie Mason, and the Vicar were discussing such interesting things. Yoga, Oriental Philosophies, India..."
"When the Vicar brought up reincarnation, Mr. Mason upset his glass of port and I said he must mop it up with his serviette or the tablecloth would be soiled forever. There was a silence afterwards. They all seemed to be waiting for me to speak, to tell them my ideas on the subject of reincarnation."
"I told them about when I was last in Paris and I drove over to Versailles and saw Petty Trianon, and then an extraordinary feeling came over me - was it not odd - for I had never been there before - that, I knew Petty Trianon quite well. Like a conviction it was, something I felt sure about, and I wondered if I had been poor Marie Antoinette."
