"Then you'll do the talking, Madam Mischief." "And you'll never say a word, even when asked. What! would I let you mesmerize her at the start by telling her how little you think of my idea and my plans? She would think as little of them as you do, when you got through. No!
We know how the mesmerists would account for this phenomenon of hygienic introvision and clairvoyance. But here, there is no mesmerizer, unless the patient can be supposed to mesmerize herself.
"No wonder Benita won't let you mesmerize her," he said shortly. Then Jacob saw his mistake. "You are more foolish than I thought," he said. "How could I mesmerize you without your knowing it? I was only laughing at you." "I didn't see the laugh," replied Mr. Clifford uneasily, and they went on with the lesson.
Any wide-awake widder 'oman dat kin get a widder man whar he can't he'p but see her move round at her work for two days hand-runnin', an' can't mesmerize him so's he'll ax her to marry him Um hm!

The proportion of people who have the 'power' to mesmerize, if it be a power, I do not know. Mesmerism is a trance and seems to me almost identical with somnambulism. It is as harmless as sleep. My sensitives occasionally come to me in the daytime to be put to sleep for the purpose of obtaining rest.
Only a great creative genius could so dominate, for instance, his mere "illustrators," as to mesmerize them completely into his manner. And certainly his illustrators are drugged with the Dickens atmosphere.
I hope to be able to prove, what I firmly hold, both from my own personal experience and experiment, as I have already related in the Nineteenth Century, that there is no such thing as a potent mesmeric influence, no such power resident in any one person more than another; that a glass of water, a tree, a stick, a penny-post letter, or a lime-light can mesmerize as effectually as can any individual.
"Let's mesmerize Goose-Grease," yelled Jimmy, as he turned the stream of water full upon him. Frances, Lina, and Billy clapped their hands and laughed for joy. With a terrified and angry shriek their victim, dripping water at every step, ran howling by his tormentors.
Like to take my own time, I guess likely. Maybe you've noticed it, Sam." "Eh? MAYBE I've noticed it? A blind cripple that was born deef and dumb would have noticed that the first time he ran across you. What on earth are you doin' to that paint brush; tryin' to mesmerize it?" His friend, who had been staring mournfully at the brush, now laid it down.
We look upon a face under whose steady gaze we stagger; there are eyes we cannot encounter in a full unflinching look; there are hands whose touch thrills and weakens us, there are voices which sink into our souls, and mesmerize us at their will. Let the circumstances be what they may, we cannot forget the influence that thus haunts our lives. Poor Fifine had not learned life's lesson wisely.
