No Living Voice
by Thomas Street Millington
Version 2, (eBook)
How do you account for it?’
‘I don’t account for it at all. I don’t pretend to understand it.’
‘You think, then, that it was really supernatural?’
‘We
know so little what Nature comprehends–what are its powers and
limits–that we can scarcely speak of anything that happens as beyond it
or above it.’
‘And you are certain that this did happen?’
‘Quite certain; of that I have no doubt whatever.’
These
sentences passed between two gentlemen in the drawing-room of a country
house, where a small family party was assembled after dinner; and in
consequence of a lull in the conversation occurring at the moment they
were distinctly heard by nearly everybody present. Curiosity was
excited, and enquiries were eagerly pressed as to the nature or
supernature of the event under discussion. ‘A ghost story!’ cried one;
‘oh! delightful! we must and will hear it.’ ‘Oh! please, no,’ said
another; ‘I should not sleep all night–and yet I am dying with
curiosity.’
