by me and held my hand? My
fingers are still tingling, and a cold wind seems to blow upon me."

"It was a spirit, Godfrey, but there is no need to be afraid, she will
not do you any harm."

"I don't know, and I don't think that you have any right to bring
spirits to me, or out of me, as I heard that dreadful Madame say had
happened. It is a great liberty."

"Oh! don't be angry with me," she said piteously. "If only you
understood. You are a wonderful medium, the most wonderful that any of
us has ever known, and through you we have learned things; holy,
marvellous things, which till now have not been heard of in the world.
Your fame is already great among leading spiritualists of the earth,
though of course they do not know who you are."

"That does not better matters," said Godfrey, "you know it is not
right."

"Perhaps not, but my dear boy, if only you guessed all it means to me!
Listen; I will tell you; you will not betray me, will you? Once I was
very fond of someone; he was all my life, and he died, and my heart
broke. I only hope and pray that such a thing may never happen to you.

have anything more to do with that white lady who is called Eleanor and
changes her jewels so often; especially as Madame said she was growing
fond of me and would never leave me. So please don't ask me here again
on Sundays."

Miss Ogilvy tried to soothe him.

"You shouldn't be frightened of her," she said. "She is really a
delightful spirit, and declares that she knew you very intimately
indeed, when you were an early Egyptian, also much before that on the
lost continent, which is called Atlantis, to say nothing of deep
friendships which have existed between you in other planets."

"I say!" exclaimed Godfrey, "do you believe all this?"

"Well, if you ask me, I must say that I do. I am sure that we have all
of us lived many lives, here and elsewhere, and if this is so, it is
obvious that in the course of them we must have met an enormous number
of people, with certain
