With these facts before him Thayor came to an instant conclusion. The result was that a little before noon on this same day the day of Sperry's departure the owner of Big Shanty sent for Bergstein. Both the trapper and Holcomb were present.
The supernormal, as I said at the beginning, not the supernatural, is our explanation. Sperry's notes were alphabetical. At 9:30 on that same evening by Mr. Johnson's watch, consulted at the time, Miss Jeremy had described such a crime. The message had been left at 9:35. He had telephoned me, and we had gone together, arriving at approximately 12:30. Mrs.
"Please don't call me 'little girl'; I I don't like it," she returned, not knowing what else to say and still uneasy outraged, really, if she had understood her feelings. She sat down quickly, and as he turned to look at the torrent below, slid down the rock in safety. Sperry's brow knit. What surprised him was to find her different from the girls he had known.
At Sperry's request we stopped talking and composed ourselves, and Herbert, I remember, took a tablet of some sort, to our intense annoyance, and crunched it in his teeth. Then Miss Jeremy came in. She was not at all what we had expected. Twenty-six, I should say, and in a black dinner dress. She seemed like a perfectly normal young woman, even attractive in a fragile, delicate way.
The word was "curtain." Of the extraordinary event that followed the breaking up of the seance, I have the keenest recollection. Miss Jeremy came out of her trance weak and looking extremely ill, and Sperry's motor took her home. She knew nothing of what had happened, and hoped we had been satisfied. By agreement, we did not tell her what had transpired, and she was not curious.
How much of Sperry's proceeding with the carpet the governess had seen I do not know. I glanced up and she was there, on the staircase to the third floor, watching us. I did not know, then, whether she recognized me or not, for the Wellses' servants were as oblivious of the families on the street as their employers. But she knew Sperry, and was ready enough to talk to him.
Arthur Wells killed himself tonight, shot himself in the head. I want you to go there with me." "Arthur Wells!" "Yes. I say, Horace, did you happen to notice the time the seance began tonight?" "It was five minutes after nine when my watch fell." "Then it would have been about half past when the trance began?" "Yes." There was a silence at Sperry's end of the wire.
As he talked on and on of Sperry's visit and the new projects, she listened, looking at his character in the light Brent had turned upon it Brent who had in a few brief moments turned such floods of light upon so many things she had been seeing dimly or not at all. Moderate prosperity and moderate adversity bring out the best there is in a man; the extreme of either brings out his worst.
During the deep trance, with which this unusual record deals, she spoke in her own voice, but in a querulous tone, and Sperry's examination of her pulse showed that it went from eighty normal to a hundred and twenty and very feeble.
To get them off her mind that she might work uninterruptedly at learning Lola's part in "Cavalleria," she toiled all Saturday, far into Sunday morning, was astir before Spenser waked, finished the dress soon after breakfast and the hat by the middle of the afternoon. When Spenser returned from Sperry's office to take her to dinner, she was arrayed.
