"You see?" said the medium, turning her head. "The spirits are tellin' me that, because they know this lady wants to know. So I'm agoin' to help this lady. I can see that her troubles are in this world, not in the spirit plane. That's right, lady, isn't it?"
Another nod from the lady was the response.
"Have you been here before, lady?"
The woman nodded.
"Did I ever ask you your name, lady?"
"No," was the reply.
"Did anybody tell you to come here to-night?"
"No."
"You see, I don't know you, then. But I can hear the spirits atellin' me. They say the name Maude."
"That is my name!" exclaimed the woman.
