The best materializing mediums charge pretty well.

Mrs.Legrand, who I believe is considered the leading light just now, charges fifty dollars for a private seance.

Now, fifty dollars, I suppose, does not seem a large sum to you, but it would be a great deal for a poor woman like me to spend.

And yet if I believed this wonderful thing that you believe, and I thought there was one chance in a million that this woman could demonstrate it to me by the assurance of sight, I would live on crusts from the gutter till I had earned the money to go to her." Paul rose from his chair, and, after walking across the floor once or twice, stood leaning his arm on the mantelpiece.

He cleared his throat, and said: "Have you ever seen this Mrs.Legrand yourself?
I mean, have you ever been present at one of her seances ?" "Not on my own account," replied Mrs.Slater.
