The medium then walked up to the spot he had indicated as the scene of the murder, and knelt there for some minutes in prayer.
Thus concluded the first séance at which the monk was introduced to us. But the next day as I sat at the table with my sister only, the name of "Hortense Dupont" was given us, and the following conversation was rapped out.
"Who are you?"
"I am the nun. I did love him. I couldn't help it. It is such a relief to think that he will be prayed for."
"When did he murder you?"
"In 1498."
"What was his name?"
"I cannot tell you."
"His age."
"Thirty-five!"
