"When Mike possesses her she talks with a brogue, and keeps asking me if 1 cannot seo my grandfather standing over beside the dressing table. I strain my eyes, but never once catch a glimpse of the old gentleman.
"When she wants to emerge from a trance she sends me to the kitchen to get a drink of water for Mike. I cannot see Mike, but she says he is there all right. When I bring the water she drinks it herself, and says that it has made Mike feel much better.
"It is too deep for me, and I have lost so much rest entertaining Mike and the three Indians that I simply cannot stand it an,y longer."
