Everyone in the villa watching Arthur saw him tilt his head to listen. When Maltz heard that whisper, he let out a long sigh of relief.
The Chief knew they had this in the bag.
The people beside him began whispering among themselves.
"It's here! It's here!"
"What? Is this what the newspapers talked about..."
"Yes, exactly!"
"This is the Medium's Mediumship!"
Of everyone present, Linda Camille was the most excited. She did not know why, but the first time she read a description of Arthur's Mediumship in the newspaper, something had stirred in her heart.
When she first witnessed Mediumship at Amanda's Cat Friends' Home, that stirring became even clearer.

"It was me!"
"I killed Chelmi!"
"Please arrest me!"
His shouts startled everyone around him.
They stared at the somewhat hysterical Will Kors in shock and uncertainty.

As Arthur spoke, he looked at the enormous upholstered armchair behind the desk in the sitting room and said slowly, "Aren't you coming out yet?"
Coming out?
Everyone froze.
Then their eyes widened.
A bulge began to rise from the surface of the broad chair
