Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reminiscences of Early Rochester: A Paper Read Before the Rochester Historical Society, December 27, 1915
That was a memorable evening for me. It began very solemnly, with the wheeling out of a heavy mahogany center table into the middle of the parlor. Then the company gathered tremblingly around it, and formed a closed circle by clasping hands about its edge. There we waited in silence. Katy Fox was opposite me. I thought I observed a slight smile upon her face. I was less observant of the proprieties at that time than I have been since, and I ventured, alas, to wink at Katy Fox. And I thought that Katy did something like winking in return. She was a pretty girl, and why shouldn't she? But she soon composed her countenance. The séance proceeded solemnly to the end. But for me there was no more solemnity nor mystery. All the rest of the performance seemed a farce.
