“How often it has been remarked that the Gift manifests itself after a period of severe illness!… The Power always follows sickness and frequently comes to the gentler sex. The lower in status they are, the stronger they seem to grow. Deprivation, frustration and discontent: these are the grounds in which mediumship breeds.”
“If there’s one thing she understands about grief, it’s how it chokes: the fingers of death, squeezing the throats of the living.”
“This is what Agnes wanted: to converse with the dead, yet she is speechless before their eternity.”
