Smiley's ankles, knotted it to the rungs of the chair at the back, and nailed the loose ends to the floor. I then drew chalk marks on the floor about the chair legs, in order that any movement of the chair, no matter how slight, might show. Finally, I pushed the table about two feet away from the psychic's utmost reach.
Miller secured each foot in such wise that the knots came in the middle of the tape, and to make untying them absolutely impossible, I drew the two ends of the long ribbon back under the psychic's chair and tacked them securely to the shelf of a bookcase about two feet from the hind legs. To loosen them was entirely out of our victim's power.
You are surely mistaken. Certainly, I will ask. Is Professor Serviss here?" Serviss replied, with a slight note of annoyance in his voice, "Yes, I am here." Again the little group shivered with excitement not because they were acquainted with the name and fame of the scientist, but because they anticipated some especially wonderful manifestation of the psychic's power.
I ask the reader to recall that the psychic's ankles were encircled with tape which was nailed to the floor behind her chair.
Almost instantly Howard cried out: "The blooming thing is touching me on the ear!" "Observe," called I, in the tone of a man exhibiting some kind of trained animal, "the cone is now at least six feet from the psychic's utmost reach. How do you account for that, Miller?" "The boy lied," said Miller, curtly. Howard was offended. "I'll take that out of you, old chap, when we meet in the street.
I could not rid myself of a sense that there was an actual externalization of the psychic's nerve force, and with this conviction I could well understand why the command had so often been given not to touch her unbidden. Suppose the poor naked "astral body" were abroad and a strong light were suddenly turned upon it! Now came on a singularly engrossing game of "hide-and-seek." Convinced that Mrs.
"Maudie" then asked us to take up the larger half of the cone and unite it with the smaller part, and lay the entire cone flat across the table. We did so, marking its position by means of chalk. It was nearly three feet from the utmost extension of the psychic's hands, and yet, almost immediately, tapping came upon the cone keeping time to our singing.
Garland may put his right hand on top of mama's head and his left hand on her wrist. Mr. Fowler may place his left hand above Mr. Garland's and his right hand on mama's wrist. 'Mr. Mitchell' says he will then see if the voices will not come." I then said aloud: "My right hand is on the psychic's head, my left is on her wrist."
The first one to speak was 'Evan, the 'guide, and I remarked that his voice was precisely like a falsetto disguise of the psychic's own. "Soon 'Evan' and other spirits appeared at the opening of the curtain. The wife called them each by name, but I could see only certain curious fluctuating, cloud-like forms, like puffs of fire-lit steam.
Well, that little table came out of the cabinet of its own accord in a light that made it perfectly visible, at the precise time when three of the inexorable professors were rigidly clasping the psychic. But that is not the most remarkable thing. The psychic's feet were held by the engineer, and he observed that at the exact moment when Paladino pushed against his knee the table moved.
