"Who speaks ?" There was silence, and then Dr.Wade said, "Show me my past." A faint light stole up over the smoke--it grew brighter and brighter; and then a picture was clearly seen upon it.
It was the sea, a house standing by itself in a garden, and separated from the water only by a road.

Presently the figure of a girl appeared at the gate, and, stepping out, looked down the road as if waiting for someone.

They could make out all the details of her dress and see her features distinctly.

A low exclamation broke from the Doctor, then the picture gradually faded away.
"The future!" the juggler said, and gradually an Indian scene appeared on the smoke.

It was a long, straight road, bordered by a jungle.
