The enchanter, however, pretends not only to kill people, but to cure them. When he cannot do so by his incantations, he tries rubbing and various passes, much in the fashion of a mesmeriser.
"You did that, Miss Northcott." "Did what?" she asked sharply. "Why, mesmerised the mesmeriser I suppose that is the best way of describing the transaction." "What a strange idea!" she said, laughing. "You give me credit for a strong will then?" "Yes," I said. "For a dangerously strong one." "Why dangerous?" she asked, in a tone of surprise.
That was the 8th of July. It is the 8th of July once more. Come and seek for our chosen star come. I have something to say, which say I must. Come." Mechanically, as it were, mechanically, as they tell us the Somnambulist obeys the Mesmeriser, Isaura obeyed that summons.
Not infrequently, the mesmeriser only succeeds in getting an idea into his subject's head by slow degrees through a carefully graduated series of hints.
Nor, supposing it true that a mesmerised patient can respond to the will or passes of a mesmeriser a hundred miles distant, is the response less occasioned by a material being; it may be through a material fluid call it Electric, call it Odic, call it what you will which has the power of traversing space and passing obstacles, that the material effect is communicated from one to the other.

The rain was falling as fast as the day before, but I could not delay any longer.
