'What are we to do some thought-reading? 'Yes. It isn't a crush! I have only asked about thirty or forty people. Mr. Denman is to manage it. She mentioned an amateur thought-reader greatly in request at the moment. Flaxman cogitated for a while and then propounded a little plan to his aunt, to which she, after some demur, agreed.
You ask me how poor Dionea is getting on. A maker of philters. Roughly speaking, that is Dionea's profession. You think our peasants are skeptical? Perhaps they do not believe in thought-reading, mesmerism, and ghosts, like you, dear Lady Evelyn. But they believe very firmly in the evil eye, in magic, and in love-potions.
"Good memory! What do you mean?" "Why, Mr. Voltaire and his friends have come a few years too late to make a good impression. I have not only seen a better performance at a dozen entertainments, but I have found out the secret of what is called 'thought-reading." "Do you mean to say you have seen similar feats before?" asked Voltaire, savagely. "At least a dozen times," I replied.
No need to answer, White Man, but what fee, Chief, for the poor witch-doctoress whose skill you seek," she added in a whining voice.

Donnington turned to Miss Farrow. "I have never known Bubbles so so wonderful!" he exclaimed in a low voice. "There must be something in the atmosphere of this place which made it easier than usual."

"Stephen, I've been wanting to do this for for all the time. If there was thought-reading you would have had a thousand letters. But formerly I was content to submit, and latterly I've chafed more. I think that as what they call passion has faded, the immense friendliness has become more evident, and made the bar less and less justifiable.
I had not spoken a word after asking the servant to wait for the bell. Was this word-reading, or voice-reading, or thought-reading. I can match Mrs. De Morgan's pretty story of her Dido.
