"What does she think," asked Sir Lyon. He had always been interested in Blanche Farrow, and, in a way, he was fond of her. "She thinks," said Varick, a little hesitatingly, "that Bubbles, in addition to her extraordinary thought-reading gift, has inherited from her Indian ancestress a power of collectively hypnotizing an audience of making people see things that she wants them to see.
I believe," she continued, after a pause, "that the thought-reading and mesmerism were somehow designed to injure you. I think somehow they are acquainted with forces unknown to us, and will use them for evil." "Yes, I believe all that," I said. "Then why must you have any dealings with them?"
As Celia grew up, he tried a yet higher flight he became a spiritualist, with Celia for his medium. The thought-reading entertainments became thrilling seances, and the beautiful child, now grown into a beautiful girl of seventeen, created a greater sensation as a medium in a trance than she had done as a lightning thought-reader.
And in a place of public exhibition he would not have discovered himself naked. Then suddenly, quite abruptly, he realised what had happened. There was no perceptible interval of suspicion, no dawn to his knowledge. Abruptly he knew that his trance had lasted for a vast interval; as if by some processes of thought-reading he interpreted the awe in the faces that peered into his.
"I wish you would! Bubbles interests me more than anyone I ever met." "I want to tell you that I and Bubbles' father very much regret her going in for all that that occultism, I believe it's called."

As in the histories of both men and nations, these first steps in great developments began quietly enough.
She only thought him tiresome and inquisitive, and wished that he would not come so often to see papa. It did not take a large amount of that faculty of thought-reading which Mr. Gryce claimed as so peculiarly his own to see that something unusual had happened to disturb poor Leam to-day.
With regard to the question of telepathy, though I am tempted to believe in it, I have not yet met with any convincing instance of it. Thought-reading a la Stuart Cumberland almost any one could do who practised it. The thought-reader merely takes the place of the table as a receiver of muscular vibrations.
Before we had time to recover our spirits, we were indulged with some thought-reading by a young man whom one knew instinctively had a good mother and an indifferent tailor the sort of young man who talks unflaggingly through the thickest soup, and smooths his hair dubiously as though he thought it might hit back.
"Of course, I think them simply an extension of the extraordinary thought-reading gifts she had as a small child," observed Blanche. "I wish I could think it was only that I'm afraid it's a good deal more than mere thought-reading," Donnington said reluctantly.
