You see, auntie, I was here and you weren't, so I ought to know something about it." "It's no use arguing with you," replied Aunt Charlotte, loftily. "It's a clear case of sleep-walking as clear as any case I ever heard of. And then all that nonsense about raps! Of course, if you heard anything at all which I only half believe it was something beginning to give way in the roof. There!
These Amazons now showed themselves qualified for the duty of even foot soldiers; they stood there till five in the afternoon, without either sustenance or evacuation, every now and then playing volleys of thumps, kicks, and raps against the door, with so much violence that the speakers in the House were scarce heard.
They sounded somewhat like the others, not exactly. The Medium: I heard one rap, but it is nothing for me to hear them; I want you gentlemen to hear them. Mr. Sellers: Probably we will hear them again. While Mr. Sellers and Mr. Furness are conversing, several raps are heard, though less distinct than the preceding ones. The Medium: There they are as though right under the glass. Mr.
What is its source? And what is its object? On this subject alone much suggestive and valuable research might be undertaken. Take the simple phenomena of raps. What produces them?

Well, I raps away with the knocker as loud as possible, as much as to say, Make haste, for there is somebody here, when a tall spare gall with a vinegar face opened the door just wide enough to show her profile, and hide her back gear, and stood to hear what I had to say.

Many not already standing, started to their feet, and nearly all looked one upon another with deep dismay in their glances.
No pole is needed on the line except a short one of three or four feet, and when a bite is felt by the fisherman, the line is quickly drawn out, given a sudden twitch, which frees the tom-cod, and he is summarily dispatched with a few raps from the fishing stick kept at hand for the purpose.

"I could amuse myself for hours watching it turn flip-flops." "Too bad yours died so young," Bruce raps back at him. "Oh, I don't know," says Mr. Robert. "There are compensations.

When it comes Christmas Eve, and the children are lying fast asleep, Babouscka comes softly through the snowy fields and towns, wrapped in her long cloak and carrying her basket on her arm. With her staff she raps gently at the doors and goes inside and holds her candle close to the little children's faces. "Is He here?" she asks.
Seybert rapped, if the sound was a good one, you would have noticed that his rap was different from that of another. Every one is entirely different from another.
