Psychology / past-life
English term or phrase: it added a characteristic touch
We can imagine the mother making the mistake of remarking she had a living son in a certain college, but it is difficult imagining her casually remarking that her deceased son had a marked habit of playing with a watch in his pocket, although when the fact was spoken by the lips of the entranced medium it added a characteristic touch.

Não creio que a tradução literal funcione neste caso...

Alguma sugestão?
