"Who knows," says I, "if we lived for Heaven, as Jennie Dark lived for her country, in the story I have heard Thomas J. read about, but we might, like her, see visions, and hear voices, callin' us to heavenly duties? But," says I, findin' and recoverin' myself, "I don't see no use in a seansy to help us." "Don't you admit that there is strange doin's at these seansys?"
He pointed his finger north across the country and, following the pointed finger, I saw the brown coat of a man disappearing behind a distant ridge. It was too far away to see who it was that travelled in that coat, but we knew as well as though the man's face had passed by our stirrups. "Hoity-toity!" said Ump, "what doin's there'll be when he gits in with the news!"
It was sometime before she could command her feelings enough to say, in a husky whisper, "I never thought to ha' had a hand in such wonderful doin's, and how I held up through it, I can't tell.
