"He giveth His Beloved sleep";—not weary, hopeless wanderings upon the face of the earth.
Peter Grimm did not return. And this is the only comment I care to make upon Andrew McPherson's amazing theory.
CHAPTER XVIII
DR. McPHERSON'S STATEMENT
Dr. James Hyslop.
My Dear Sir:—After reading the account which I am mailing to you under separate cover, will you kindly forward it to the American Branch of the Society of Psychical Research? As you will observe, it is a verbatim report of a "séance."
For your personal information, I beg to make the following supplementary statement.
At the residence of Peter Grimm,—I should say the late Peter Grimm—(the well-known horticulturist of Grimm Manor, N. Y.) certain phenomena occurred this evening which would clearly indicate the Return of Peter Grimm, ten days after his decease. At my first free moment after the manifestation, I jotted down in shorthand the exact dialogue, etc., which I have since transcribed into the enclosed report.
While Peter Grimm was invisible to all, three people were present besides myself; including the "recipient," a child of eight, who had been ill, but was almost normal at the time.
