No sooner was this firmly fixed in Eliphalet's mind than he saw his way out of the difficulty. The ghosts must be married! for then there would be no more interference, no more quarreling, no more manifestations and materializations, no more dark séances, with their raps and bells and tambourines and banjos.

It is at this juncture that Alexander Burke steps into the hall, and beholds nothing in the light of his own candle.

Koenig: What would that mean that he only sees some of us, or that he sees none of us entirely, but only partially? The Medium: That he sees us, but not clearly. Mr. Sellers: Will you please rap the number of the members of the Committee who are present at this time? Three raps. Mr. Sellers: Now, say how many. Three raps. Mr. Sellers: Are there only three?
