Female believers are always much more susceptible than masculine sceptics.

However, I certainly had proof of the child's marvellous power in this slight matter following.

Two young ladies had successfully brought her in spirit, into their mother's drawing-room in Berkeley Square, the child graphically explaining all she saw as she was mentally led along, and on being asked if she noticed anything new and pretty on the mantel-piece, she got up and placed herself in an attitude of dancing, and she said there was a figure and it was clothed in lace.

This was true; it was a bisque statuette of Taglioni.

On being led round the room, still in spirit and clairvoyante, the child strangely described wax-flowers under a glass, and laughed heartily at "Taffy riding his goat,"-- a china ornament which she could have known nothing of.
With respect to the lady who invited us, I can relate a strange story wherewith the Brighton doctors in 1848 were familiar.
