Madame Martin had at her right Garain the Deputy, formerly Chancellor, also President of the Council, and at her left Senator Loyer. At Count Martin-Belleme's right was Monsieur Berthier-d'Eyzelles. It was an intimate and serious business gathering. In conformity with Montessuy's prediction, the Cabinet had fallen four days before.
Acquittal of the prisoners. An example from Aubrey. The murder of Anne Walker. The case of Mr. Booty. An example from Maryland, the story of Briggs and Harris. The Valogne phantasm. Trials in the matter of haunted houses. Cases from Le Loyer. Modern instances of haunted houses before the law. Unsatisfactory results of legal investigations.
We have made your friend, old Lariviere, Minister of War, without consulting him. I have to warn him." He thought he could find him in the boulevard cafe, where military men go. But Count Martin knew the General was in the theatre. "I must find him," said Loyer. Bowing to Therese, he said: "You permit me, Countess, to take your husband?"
The ghosts beheld by conscience-stricken murderers, by sorrowing widowers, by spiritualists in dark rooms, haunted by humbugs, or those seen by lunatics, or by children, or by timid people in lonely old houses, or by people who, though sane at the time, go mad twenty years later, or by sane people habitually visionary, these and many other ghosts, we must begin, like Le Loyer, by rejecting.
The inquiries of Thyraeus, Lavaterus, Bodinus, Wierus, Le Loyer, Reginald Scot, and many others, tended on the whole to the negative side as regards the wilder fables about witches, but left the problems of ghosts and haunted houses pretty much where they were before.
It is true that Le Loyer, with all his deductions, left plenty of genuine spectres for the amusement of his readers. Like him we must be careful not to confound 'apparitions, with 'ghosts'.
"The situation," he said, "exacts circumspection. We are facing a perilous unknown." Then Loyer, looking at his war colleague with cynical contempt, said: "In the very improbable case of a war, don't you think, my dear colleague, that the real generals would be the station-masters?" The three Ministers went out by the private stairway. The President of the Council was waiting for them.
Garain sacrificed his personal convenience to superior interests. Senator Loyer made a wry face. He wanted the Seals. It was a long-cherished desire. A teacher of law under the Empire, he gave, in cafes, lessons that were appreciated. He had the sense of chicanery.
Loyer affirms that "the King of Sain, on the least pretence, sells his subjects for European goods. He is so tyrannically severe, that he makes a whole village responsible for the fault of one inhabitant; and on the least offence sells them all for slaves."
Mine bleeds and moans under a rain of stones and of oyster- shells. Do the French, my love, really throw stones at Monsieur Choulette?" While Therese reassured Miss Bell, Loyer, imperious and somewhat noisy, caused the door of the box to be opened. He appeared wet and spattered with mud. "I come from the Elysee," he said.
