A trio of "spirits" generally puts in an appearance at these séances.
"Well, we'd better walk along the road as far as that curve," said Diggory, "and then they won't see us from the station." The trio started off in the direction indicated, hurrying along the permanent way, hopping over the sleepers, and seeing how far they could run on one of the metals without falling off.
Hain't been spillin' molasses, have yer? Bet yer have! Good joke on Old Foxy!" It had been a heavenly picnic the little trio all agreed as to that; and when Ivory saw the Baxter girls coming up the shady path that led along the river from the Indian Cellar to the bridge, it was a merry group and a transfigured Rodman that caught his eye.
‘By all means,’ added the obsequious Mr. Timson; and the trio made for the drawing-room accordingly. Tea being concluded, and the toast and cups having been duly handed, and occasionally upset, by Mr. Watkins Tottle, a rubber was proposed.

It is August again, and two of the group recall a bitter evening one August, long ago, when the pitiless rain cast them shelterless into the street and their grateful hearts dwell upon the peace and comfort that resulted from that one, apparently adverse, providence.
After this brutal behaviour on the part of a trio of English girls, one must show a little moderation in condemning the cruel conduct of the Roman dames, who contemplated with zest the deadly contests of the gladiators in the arena; at least the gladiators were strangers and barbarians, not fellow-townsmen and near relations.
Under her guidance we passed through a dozen apartments, duly stocked with old pictures, old tapestry, old carvings, old armour, with a hundred ornaments and treasures.
