You see I was not so far out of the way after all, and that evening I accused you of having gone to the Clairvoyants we had just heard the death was from malignant scarlet fever. It would have ruined the school for a long while to have it break out here, you know. If the person had come out in the open so that I could have seen, but her darting back, and I think there was more than one.
The collection of photographs is almost priceless and the clippings, letters, and memoranda in the filing cases only secondarily so. Very few of the "operators" pretend to anything but common-sense, with perhaps some special knowledge of the men they are after. They are not clairvoyants or mystery men, but they will tirelessly follow a crook until they get him.
Many students believe that these conditions are absolutely necessary for the production of this kind of phenomena, but they neglect, or are actually unaware of, the fact that many of the highest forms of this class of clairvoyant phenomena are manifested by clairvoyants who are no more in a trance condition, or that of semi-trance, than those following the methods of Psychometry or Crystal Gazing, respectively.
But both she and Mr Leadbeater were as absolutely unsuccessful as less gifted mortals proved to be. In spite of exceptional opportunities for coming in touch with the most noted psychics, in spite of the valuable clue given by hair cut after death, the test seemed quite hopeless, since twelve of the best clairvoyants had been consulted, and all had failed in turn.
But telepathy itself is fantastic; and yet, being a fact, it must be accounted for somehow, or left altogether unexplained. It has always been contended by a peculiarly-gifted group of individuals known as "clairvoyants," that we possess a "spiritual body" just as we possess a physical body of exactly the same shape and appearance; and that we inhabit this body at death.
"Sometimes this Double is seen by persons in the house, or in the neighborhood... the Double may be seen or heard; when seen it shows the dreamy hazy consciousness alluded to, is silent, vague in its aspect, and unresponsive.... This astral corpse remains near the physical one, and they disintegrate together; clairvoyants see these astral wraiths in churchyards, sometimes showing likeness of the dead body, sometimes as violet mists or lights.
Though I had been in company with clairvoyants in many instances, I had never, before my return to Paris in the late summer of 1860, entered any one of those places in which professional fortune-tellers carried on their business.
"Of course you can't," he said, assuringly. "I never know what my lawyers are doing. If I did, I'd fire them and do it myself. And they realize it. A lawyer can order a fried egg, cooked on one side only, and make it sound like a royal proclamation announcing a total change of the currency system. They're like doctors and clairvoyants. Their graft lies in being mysterious.
"Olivia, Olivia! you are cruel to yourself and to me, but you shall hear part, at least. I warn you, however, you will be no happier for knowing." "Go on," she said, steadily. He turned from her, walked to the window, and kept his back to her while he spoke. "You have no faith in fortune-tellers, clairvoyants, astrologers, and the like, have you, Olivia?" "Most certainly not!"
"You're not going to be taken in by one of those foolish clairvoyants, are you?" asked Jack. "Not exactly," said John. "But if I am right I think this Professor Ali Baba is Hemp Smith, or Professor Punjab under another name." "What makes you think so?" inquired Nat. "Rip-snorting radiators! But if it should be!"
