With renewed hope he approached the shining mark and extended his hand to open the door.,“Can’t I see the faywies some time, Betty?” asked St. Elmo.,“You must do it,” he spelled. His stiffened fingers must have carried authority, for she nodded; and he saw her get a chair and stand with it, ready to do his bidding.，“Oh, Billy, don’t ask me. I can’t bear to think of it.
