Source text · mention only

We learned that the night before there had been a séance in the Hospital House. A new spook had appeared, calling herself “Millicent the Innocent.” Asked what she was “innocent” of—a perfectly natural question in view of the name—she grew exceedingly angry and threatened to show her power. Some daring member of the audience challenged her to “carry on,” and immediately a window-pane was smashed inwards, from the outside, a washstand holding a basin full of water was upset, and a large wooden chandelier crashed down from its hook on the wall. The room was well lit at the time. It was a good twenty feet above ground level, the guards had completed their evening round, and all prisoners were locked inside the house.
