March 9th, Tuesday.—­Mr. C——­ writes this morning in regard to Sunday night:  “March 8th.—...  Last night I was not so much disturbed, but I awoke at 3.10, and did not sleep after that.  I had exactly the same sensation as on the previous night, that whenever I was going to sleep something woke me.  At 5.20 I heard three noises very close together, but they were very distant, and sounded from the direction of your room” (No. 8).

March 10th, Wednesday.—­I awoke about 5.30, and lay awake reading.  I had drawn the blinds up, but kept the candle in as long as it was required.  At intervals between twenty minutes to six o’clock and ten minutes past I heard the sounds characteristic of No. 8., viz., footsteps of a man, and pattering of a dog.  Miss Moore awoke, and heard the later sounds.  About 6.10 we both heard the thud, which seems to occur generally beyond the wardrobe nearer the door.

   In the afternoon Miss Moore and I called on Mrs. S——.

   March 11th, Thursday.—­Very wet day, no phenomena.

March 12th, Friday.—­Another wet day.  I had had a headache all day, and was unable to join the others in a walk when the rain cleared off, but I went out, alone, about 6.30 to the copse.  Standing in my usual place, I saw the nun coming over the hill towards the burn; she stood nearly opposite to me, looking down to the water for a few minutes, and then moved away towards the avenue.  I followed as quickly as possible, but when I got to the drive she was still a few yards ahead of me, and I failed to catch her up, though I pursued her down to the lodge, about two hundred yards; she then, passing through the gates, turned to the left, and I lost her in the obscurity of the road, which is there darkened by heavy trees.  When I returned to the house I was still in so much pain that I took a sedative draught and went to bed, and to sleep at once.

With regard to the above it may be remarked that the way she came led from B——­ Cottage, where by the kindness of Mr. S——­ some nuns had formerly spent their annual holiday, and the road on which she disappeared was a way which would have led back to it.

March 13th, Saturday.—­At ten o’clock last night Miss Moore woke me to take some food.  I was still under the influence of the opiate, and did not really rouse, even when she came to bed half-an-hour later.  We did not speak till I was aroused by a loud banging noise, when, in answer to my startled exclamation, Miss Moore suggested that it was probably the servants shutting up downstairs, as we were early, and they had very likely not yet gone to bed.  I was
