Chapter 1. THE SEANCE
On a march evening, at eight o'clock, Backhouse, the medium--a
fast-rising star in the psychic world--was ushered into the study
at Prolands, the Hampstead residence of Montague Faull. The room was
illuminated only by the light of a blazing fire. The host, eying him
with indolent curiosity, got up, and the usual conventional greetings
were exchanged. Having indicated an easy chair before the fire to his
guest, the South American merchant sank back again into his own. The
electric light was switched on. Faull's prominent, clear-cut features,
metallic-looking skin, and general air of bored impassiveness, did not
seem greatly to impress the medium, who was accustomed to regard men
from a special angle. Backhouse, on the contrary, was a novelty to the
merchant. As he tranquilly studied him through half closed lids and the
smoke of a cigar, he wondered how this little, thickset person with the
pointed beard contrived to remain so fresh and sane in appearance, in
view of the morbid nature of his occupation.
"Do you smoke?" drawled Faull, by way of starting the Conversation. "No?
Then will you take a drink?"
