Summary

Mary S. Brown,  ../../../ (1923)

“ While I was in this higher, or perhaps more inclusive, space, it became clear to me that nothing is ever really destroyed. It only changes its form, as ice becomes water, water turns into steam, and steam into an invisible gas; the elements vibrate differently, and each varying vibration has its own individual form. That is as much as I can explain in terms that you could understand.’’
Be that as it may, the mirror still reflects my Freda—and I am content. Who now, however, shall prove Professor Dolber’s theory of the fourth dimension? I, for one, dare not try.

“ She led me upstairs to Freda’s room and unlocked the door. We entered, and she locked it again on the inside—and then, to my wondering amazement and joy, I saw the reason for her caution, and for his message in the mirror. Freda herself lay on the bed apparently fast asleep. The housekeeper bent over her and in a voice of mingled delight and fear, exclaimed, ‘‘Oh, what shall I do?’’
She voiced my own feelings. How could we account for Freda’s appearance? We must act quickly.

“ It was only when I saw its reflection in the long cheval mirror that she became visible—just as if it required a four-fold reflection to enable the image to become apparent to my sight. This time the face was partly covered by a paper on which was written:
"Do not come too near. You were angry last time because you thought I had gone, but you came so close that you could not see me, although I had not moved."
"Forgive me," I said contritely, as the paper disappeared, leaving in full view the pretty face. "I will be careful. My people are away, so we can have a talk and get acquainted.
