“Yes, he’s been dancing, and giving himself away badly,� said Donald.

“Are you all satisfied that he is a fraud and a villain?� asked Mark, looking about him.

“We have his own word that he is,� replied Sol Garrett.

“O, his dancing was too funny,� giggled the Pemberton twins.

“I don’t know what to think of it, but I believe the Professor will explain it when he comes out of his trance,� said Mrs. Jenkinson. “I am sure he has been under control.�

“Under Miss Waring’s control,� said Mark, with a frown. “Can it be that you will yet ascribe this to spirit agency?�

“He was controlled by a dancing master,� said the twins.

“Mark, I wish you would send him away,� whispered Alice; “I am so tired.�

“You may as well awaken him,� Mark said. “These people are bound to be deceived.�

“Awake!� cried Tibby.
