She's fast developing her talents at dialogue as well as description..and that wry humour of hers is becoming very apparent.
The funnel of circumstances is tightening around her, and no matter how she tries or which way she turns, the danger of her secret (Seeing the Dead) is closer and closer to immediate revelation. That pesky old Spiritualist minister, Jepthah Termather, reappears; and we find out what a tightly-wrapped, close-knit gossiping community the small town of Cameron's Crossing really is...
Poor Mary: pushed closer and closer to her ultimate choice...
