“He is tall and dark with a scar over his left eye,” resumed the medium. “I see him plainly now.”
“That is David!” cried the housekeeper, leaning forward in her eagerness.
“David, have you a message for us?” the medium intoned.
There was a long silence, during which the man could be seen writhing and twisting in the semi-darkness. Then his voice began again:
“David has a message for a person called Maud.”
“I am Maud,” said Mrs. Weems tremulously. “Oh, what does he say?”
“That he is well and happy in the Spirit World, but he is worried about Maud.”
“Worried about me? Why?”
The medium again seemed to undergo physical suffering, but presently the message “came through,” although not in an entirely clear form.
“David’s voice has faded. I am not certain, but it has something to do with six thousand dollars.”
