Spook. “Obey.”
(Note by Moïse: Both mediums were cold, giddy, and shivering at this point.)
The Spook went on writing. Moïse, who was recording the letters touched by the glass, suddenly gave an exclamation of surprise.
“The Spook says this is all true,” he said to us. “It says this letter is word for word the same as one which has actually been sent.”
Hill and I simulated great agitation.
“I know it is true,” I replied; “that is why we wanted to withdraw!”
“But I thought this letter was merely an invention of the Spook,” said Moïse.
“I wish it was,” I said, “for he has given away what we had intended to keep as a deep secret, as it involves others.”
“Jones and I got that telepathic message about the Caucasus troops last night,” said Hill.
“This becomes very serious and very complicated,” said the Pimple.
