Orienta agreed, and again each wrote a question, and sealed it in an envelope.
“Seal them with wax, if you wish,” said the Priestess, smiling at Bobsy. “I see there is a sealing set right there on the desk.”
So Bobsy and Natalie sealed their envelopes, and stamped them with their rings.
“I won’t do that,” said Joyce, “it’s too silly. We all know there’s no trick in it.”
“Shall I read these in the dark or in the light?” asked Orienta, as Bobsy held the five missives toward her.
“Why not as you did before?” said Beatrice, “part of them in darkness and part in light. I think those read in the dark even more wonderful than in the light.”
“So do I,” agreed Joyce. “But we’ll try both ways. Which first?”
“You may choose,” said the Priestess.
“Dark, then,” replied Joyce.
So again the room was made totally dark, and immediately came Orienta’s soft, velvety tones.
