Bottazzi succeeded at last in getting Paladino's consent, but only through the good offices of Professor Richet, whom she deeply loves and reverences. Submissively she entered into this most crucial series of tests. She was no longer afraid of any scientist, but it was not precisely a joy to her.
"No; she more than sustained her great reputation. She conquered the remorseless scientist and performed the impossible." I had the strained attention of my audience now. Time was forgotten, and cries of "Tell us!" "Tell us all!" arose. "It is an exciting story, an incredible story " "So much the better!" exclaimed Miss Brush. "I am full of enthusiasm for Bottazzi," I resumed.
"The most astonishing physical phenomena came when the contact-breaker was thrown on the table, and Eusapia called out: 'See how it moves! 'We all directed our gaze toward the small object, says Bottazzi, 'and we saw that it oscillated and vibrated at an elevation of an inch or two above the surface of the table, as if seized with internal shivering Eusapia's hands, held by M. Galeotti and myself, being more than a foot from the contact-breaker."
The influences will criss-cross. Bottazzi's cabinet is her Waterloo." "Observe that Bottazzi was not perverse. He met the psychic half-way by forming the usual chain about the table, placing Eusapia before the curtains of the little cabinet, which was a recess in the wall.
Bottazzi himself and his assistants had constructed this cabinet and placed everything in position before Eusapia entered the room at all, and throughout the sitting she was controlled by at least two of the investigators so that she could not so much as put a hand inside the curtains. She was very uneasy, as though finding the conditions hard.
This amused me. "There you go again! Not satisfied with wonders, you want miracles. Happily, you may be satisfied. In the eighth sitting, which took place in the same room of the physiological laboratory, with Bottazzi, Madame Bottazzi, Professor Galeotti, Doctors Jappelli and d'Errico present, Eusapia submitted to the most rigorous restraint of her life.
Bottazzi says, with regard to the results of the first two sittings: 'These first séances show that Eusapia needed to learn how to make these movements with which her invisible hands were unfamiliar, just as she would have had to learn to make them with her visible hands.
A small table floated in the air 'while we watched it in amazement, he says. One levitation lasted long enough to count fifty. 'We all had time to observe that the piece of furniture was quite isolated, he adds. Furthermore, a big black hand came from the curtain and touched Madame Bottazzi on the cheek, and frightened her from her place beside the medium." "I can understand that," said Mrs.
"Now you're getting into my horizon," said Miller. "That is the way I wished to proceed in Mrs. Smiley's case. Did Bottazzi get these things done?" "You're as impatient as Miss Brush," I replied, highly amused at his eagerness. "First you must catch your medium.
"But how will he account for the difference in size between Eusapia's hands and the large black hand that she saw and felt?" asked Fowler. "Bottazzi himself remarks upon this discrepancy. 'To whom does this hand belong? he asked 'this hand, a half a yard away from the medium's head, seen while her visible hands are rigorously controlled by her two neighbors?
