touched me as before.

"I felt no touch throughout, only shiverings that seemed to coincide
with appearances."

To-night Miss "N." wishes to sleep in No. 3, and Miss Langton
will remain in No. 2; the door of communication can be opened
between them.

_March 2nd, Tuesday._--This morning I was reading in bed by
candlelight from 5.30 to 6 o'clock, and again heard the
pattering sound which has become familiar to us in No. 8. Miss
Moore was asleep, but happened to awake while the sound was
specially distinct, and without speaking signified that she was
giving it her attention. Shortly after six we heard the sound of
a violent fall about the middle of the west wall, between the
fireplace and window. Our first thought was that one of the
maids upstairs must have fallen, till we remembered that there
was no room above us. We have since inquired, and find that none
of them moved till nearly seven o'clock, nor was anything heard
either by them or by Mr. Garford, whose room (No. 1) joins our
west wall.[D]

Miss "N." passed a very disturbed night. She went to bed about
twelve o'clock; she is habitually an exceptionally good sleeper,
and, moreover, has slept in many rooms alleged to be haunted
without the slightest inconvenience, and has never had an
"experience" of any sort. She lay awake in discomfort till 3
A.M., and then sought refuge with Miss Langton.
