Richard Hodgson and Professor Hyslop were finally led to accept her trance utterances and writings as spiritistic revelations. Podmore, after a most careful analysis, concludes that "Mrs. Piper's trance utterances indicate the possession of some supernormal power of apprehension, at least the capacity to read the unspoken and even unconscious thoughts and emotions of other minds."
"I never noticed it, ma'am, till I brought your shawl to the carriage," said Podmore. "If I had seen it before, the young lady shouldn't have come with you so. I'll see to it, ma'am." "Thank you, Podmore." "Can you spare me to go into the town this afternoon, ma'am?" added the lady's-maid. "I want some things at Huckaback and Woolsey's."
Podmore dropped into a chair and lighted a cigarette with a look of satisfaction on his face. Alderson leaned over and pressed a button. The young man who responded was James Stiles, bookkeeper and general office clerk.
It all seems straight enough so far as you're concerned," and Podmore closed the door on him with a smile of encouragement; for young Stiles looked as if he needed encouragement.

Before we get to Toronto I'll give you the inside history of that Lawson situation; for it's mixed up with the rest of it. "But let me get back to this stolen money.
Podmore had hung up his hat, accepted a cigar and joined the inner ring, soon proving himself a congenial spirit and an able counsellor.
"Every word of it. And here's something else, Podmore, that I won't charge you for. If you're wise you'll take a straight tip and get out of this office as fast as you know how out of town clean out of the country! You don't seem to keep as well posted on the latest news as you used to. Have you read that?"
