(_All look at_ MASON.)
DONOHUE. Then you'd better tell me now.
MASON. In order that there should be no deception, we had Madame la
Grange searched.
DONOHUE. I see.
MASON. And while she was out of the room--
DONOHUE. Oh, she left the room?
(_All look at_ DONOHUE.)
MASON. Yes, and all of the ladies went with her. Then someone suggested
that we ask Madame la Grange about some special thing, and Mr. Wales
said he was going to ask her to get in communication with Spencer Lee
and see if we couldn't find out who killed him--
STANDISH. Most ridiculous thing--
MASON. As soon as she went into her trance, or whatever it was, Spencer
Lee's spirit tried to talk to us.
DONOHUE. She began to give you messages from Spencer Lee without knowing
that this was what you were trying to get?
MASON (_in triumph_). Exactly. And there's no use in trying to tell
me that there's nothing in spiritualism, because now I know better.
DONOHUE. Thank you very much, Mr. Mason. What you've told me is
extremely important. I'm anxious to know what was said, because I'm a
good deal interested in the Spencer Lee case myself.
(MRS. TRENT _turns and faces door, still sitting in her chair_.)
MASON. Then you think there's something in this spiritualism. I never
did until to-day, but, by Jove, you know you can't explain this any
other way.
