To speak more accurately, he enjoyed several: and one of Fancy's duties by no means the least pleasant or the least onerous was to read to him daily the main contents of 'The Western Morning News, 'The Western Daily Mercury, and 'The Shipping Gazette': and on Thursdays from cover to cover at a special afternoon seance 'The Troy Herald, with its weekly bulletin of more local news.
Simultaneously Van Emmon heard a loud buzzing in either ear. Corrus was being warned. Like a flash he dropped his head and muttered: "Vey well. I will remember next time." And trembling violently he turned back to his cows. "Well," remarked the geologist, when the four "came out" of their seance, "the bees seem to have everything their own way. How can we help the humans best?
When the sitting is over it will be found useful to repair to another place and fully discuss the results obtained, the impressions and feelings of the seer during the seance, and matters which appear to have a bearing on the facts observed. A person should not be disheartened if at the first few sittings nothing of any moment takes place, but should persevere with patience and self-control.
"No," corrected Rainey, "he doesn't know yet there's to be a seance. Hallowell was writing the note when he left." "Then," instructed Gaylor, "do not let her know until she arrives until it will be too late for her to back out."
A séance was about to be held; Brother George Shekleton of immortal memory, the hero who had obtained the skulls, was present with those trophies; and the petrified quondam atheist took part, not because he wished to remain, but because he did not dare to go.
These, I believe, were all the poor lady could wish for. To the rest of us, the astounding events of the SEANCE were the dim lights, accompanied by faint sounds of an accordion, which floated about the room over our heads. And now comes, to me, the strangest part of the whole performance. All the while I kept my right arm extended under the table, moving my hand to and fro.
As she stood there drawing on her gloves her visitor had fortified himself against Mrs. Farrinder by another glass of wine she declared to him that she quite repented of having proposed to him to go; something told her that he would be an unfavourable element. "Why, is it going to be a spiritual séance?" Basil Ransom asked. "Well, I have heard at Miss Birdseye's some inspirational speaking."
In this phase of mediumship the decarnate spirit is able to draw upon the vital forces of the medium, and those present at the seance, to such effect that it may clothe itself with a tenuous, subtle form of matter, and then exhibit itself to the sitters in the same form and appearance that it had previously presented in its earth life.
The day following the séance just described as taking place in New York, Mr Knapton Thompson called at my hotel to ask me to accompany him to Mrs Stoddart Gray, as he had arranged to have a short "writing séance" that afternoon. The son was the agent as usual. On this occasion he had an alphabet mounted on card, and pointed to the letters in turn, whilst his mother wrote them down as indicated.
As that was the night of the third seance, I find that my record covers the fact that Mrs. Dane was housecleaning, for which reason we had not been asked to dinner, that my wife and I dined early, at six-thirty, and that it was seven o'clock when Sperry called me by telephone. "Can you come to my office at once?" he asked. "I dare say Mrs. Johnson won't mind going to the Dane house alone."
