More
table-turning
in
the
evening
.
Carrie
said
last
night
was
in
a
measure
successful
,
and
they
ought
to
sit
again
.
Cummings
came
in
,
and
seemed
interested
.
I
had
the
gas
lighted
in
the
drawing-room
,
got
the
steps
,
and
repaired
the
cornice
,
which
has
been
a
bit
of
an
eyesore
to
me
.
In
a
fit
of
unthinkingness
--
if
I
May
use
such
an
expression
--
I
gave
the
floor
over
the
parlour
,
where
the
séance
was
taking
place
,
two
loud
raps
with
the
hammer
.
I
felt
sorry
afterwards
,
for
it
was
the
sort
of
ridiculous
,
foolhardy
thing
that
Gowing
or
Lupin
would
have
done
.
622
However
,
they
never
even
referred
to
it
,
but
Carrie
declared
that
a
message
came
through
the
table
to
her
of
a
wonderful
description
,
concerning
someone
whom
she
and
I
knew
years
ago
,
and
who
was
quite
unknown
to
the
others
.
623
When
we
went
to
bed
,
Carrie
asked
me
as
a
favour
to
sit
tomorrow
night
,
to
oblige
her
.
She
said
it
seemed
rather
unkind
and
unsociable
on
my
part
.
I
promised
I
would
sit
once
.

--
I
sat
reluctantly
at
the
table
in
the
evening
,
and
I
am
bound
to
admit
some
curious
things
happened
.
I
contend
they
were
coincidences
,
but
they
were
curious
.
For
instance
,
the
table
kept
tilting
towards
me
,
which
Carrie
construed
as
a
desire
that
I
should
ask
the
spirit
a
question
.
625
I
obeyed
the
rules
,
and
I
asked
the
spirit
(
who
said
her
name
was
Lina
)
if
she
could
tell
me
the
name
of
an
old
aunt
of
whom
I
was
thinking
,
and
whom
we
used
to
call
Aunt
Maggie
.
The
table
spelled
out
C
A
T
.
We
could
make
nothing
out
of
it
,
till
I
suddenly
remembered
that
her
second
name
was
Catherine
,
which
it
was
evidently
trying
to
spell
.
I
do
n't
think
even
Carrie
knew
this
.
But
if
she
did
,
she
would
never
cheat
.
I
must
admit
it
was
curious
.
Several
other
things
happened
,
and
I
consented
to
sit
at
another
séance
on
Monday
.

--
The
laundress
called
,
and
said
she
was
very
sorry
about
the
handkerchiefs
,
and
returned
ninepence
.
I
said
,
as
the
colour
was
completely
washed
out
and
the
handkerchiefs
quite
spoiled
,
ninepence
was
not
enough
.
Carrie
replied
that
the
two
handkerchiefs
originally
only
cost
sixpence
,
for
she
remembered
bring
them
at
a
sale
at
the
Holloway
Bon
Marché
.
In
that
case
,
I
insisted
that
threepence
buying
should
be
returned
to
the
laundress
.
Lupin
has
gone
to
stay
with
the
Poshs
for
a
few
days
.
I
must
say
I
feel
very
uncomfortable
about
it
.
Carrie
said
I
was
ridiculous
to
worry
about
it
.
Mr.
Posh
was
very
fond
of
Lupin
,
who
,
after
all
,
was
only
a
mere
boy
.
627
In
the
evening
we
had
another
séance
,
which
,
in
some
respects
,
was
very
remarkable
,
although
the
first
part
of
it
was
a
little
doubtful
.
Gowing
called
,
as
well
as
Cummings
,
and
begged
to
be
allowed
to
join
the
circle
.
I
wanted
to
object
,
but
Mrs.

James
,
who
appears
a
good
Medium
(
that
is
,
if
there
is
anything
in
it
at
all
)
,
thought
there
might
be
a
little
more
spirit
power
if
Gowing
joined
;
so
the
five
of
us
sat
down
.
629
The
moment
I
turned
out
the
gas
,
and
almost
before
I
could
get
my
hands
on
the
table
,
it
rocked
violently
and
tilted
,
and
began
moving
quickly
across
the
room
.
Gowing
shouted
out
:
"
Way
oh
!
steady
,
lad
,
steady
!
"
I
told
Gowing
if
he
could
not
behave
himself
I
should
light
the
gas
,
and
put
an
end
to
the
séance
.
630
To
tell
the
truth
,
I
thought
Gowing
was
playing
tricks
,
and
I
hinted
as
much
;
but
Mrs.
James
said
she
had
often
seen
the
table
go
right
off
the
ground
.
The
spirit
Lina
came
again
,
and
said
,
"
WARN
"
three
or
four
times
,
and
declined
to
explain
.
Mrs.
James
said
"
Lina
"
was
stubborn
sometimes
.
She
often
behaved
like
that
,
and
the
best
thing
to
do
was
to
send
her
away
.
