"I've been here a week already, and Jobstock writes quite angrily. I wouldn't have come if Maria hadn't been so urgent. She repeated it three evenings running." I hardly knew what to do. The little man was so dreadfully in earnest about the business that one could not argue much with him. "You are sure," I said, after thinking a while, "that this Maria is a good Spirit?
The fame of Whibley's Spirit became noised abroad, with the result that Whibley was able to command the willing service of more congenial assistants, and Jobstock and myself were dismissed. But we bore no malice. Under these more favourable conditions the Spirit plucked up wonderfully, and talked everybody's head off.
"Haste! you are here, Miss Sfear!" was what he made of it. Whibley asked him sarcastically if he'd kindly explain what that meant. I think Jobstock was getting irritable. We had been sitting cramped up round a wretched little one-legged table all the evening, and this was almost the first bit of gossip we had got out of it.
He informed us that it always said first "No," and then "Yes," when it was angry, and as it was his Spirit, and we were in his house, we kept our feelings to ourselves and started afresh. This time we abandoned the "Hestur" theory altogether. Jobstock suggested "Haste" for the first word, and, thought the Spirit might have gone on phonetically.
