Madame Lagarde returned to Percy. "If you are not yet satisfied,"she said, "my son will be at your service to-morrow evening, sir.""Thank you, madam, I have only one more question to ask, and you can no doubt answer it. When your son wakes, will he remember what he has said to Captain Bervie and to myself?""My son will be as absolutely ignorant of everything that he has seen, and of everything that he has said in the trance, as if he had been at the other end of the world."Percy Linwood swallowed this last outrageous assertion with an effort which he was quite unable to conceal. "Many thanks, madam," he said; "I wish you good-night."Returning to the waiting-room, he noticed the money-box fixed to the table. "These people look poor," he thought to himself, "and I feel really indebted to them for an amusing evening. Besides, Ican afford to be liberal, for I shall certainly never go back."He dropped a five-pound note into the money-box, and left the house.
