You!" interjected Stepton, harshly. "I, then, came into his life. He thought he would use me to further his purpose. He constrained me to sittings such as you have often taken part in, with a view to sending me into a trance and employing me, when in that condition, as a means of communication with the other world if there was one. We sat secretly in this room, at this table."
She stretched out her hands to him and shook her head. "Not hard to win, Jan. Easy enough to win to you. I ne'er seed the likes o' you in my small world. Not hard to win I wasn't." "You won't refuse me a few more sittings, then, because you have become my precious wife?" "In coorse not. An' I'm so sorry I was cranky. I 'dedn' mean what I said ezacally."
Moreau at first also determined to appeal; but he relinquished his purpose before the Court of Cessation commenced its sittings.
In the autumn and winter of 1838 Leslie went down to Windsor to get sittings for his picture of the coronation. He had been presented to the Queen on her first visit to the Academy after her accession, as he mentions in one of his pleasant letters to his kindred in America.

Here is a formula I have just received, on a postal card: "'DEAR SIR: As I am getting a collection of the autographs of all honorable and worthy men, and think yours such, I hope you will forfeit by next mail. Yours, etc." And of that other nuisance, sitting for a portrait, he laughingly wrote one day: "'Two or three sittings' that is the illusory phrase.
Malling believed it possible that the wills of the two clergymen, in some mysterious and inexplicable way, had mingled during their sittings, and that they had never become completely disentangled. If this were so, the result was a different Harding from the former Harding, and a different Henry Chichester from the former Henry Chichester.
We followed a crowd of Italians who were going into a chapel at the side where preparations were being made for a special service. There being no pews or sittings in the chapel, but a few plain chairs for hire, we paid the verger two cents for the use of a chair and waited.
Nothing is more uncertain and capricious than manifestations of human mediumism. Whether it be a question of automatic writing, psychometry, materializations or anything else, we meet with series of sittings that yield none but absurd results.
