“Was what you saw a figure?”
“I—I am not certain. It was light—almost white.”
“Can you not describe it?”
“I am afraid not—except that it seemed white.”
“How tall was it?”
“I couldn’t say.”
“As tall as the girl?”
“Just about, perhaps.”
“Think of something that it resembled. This is important, Mrs. Sloane. You must make an effort.”
“I think it looked most like a fountain.”
