Mr.and Mrs.Wesley went on a tour of inspection, but only found the mastiff whining in terror.

"We still heard it rattle and thunder in every room above or behind us, locked as well as open, except my study, where as yet it never came." On the night of the 26th Mr.Wesley seems to have heard of a phenomenon already familiar to Emily--"something like the quick winding up of a jack, at the corner of the room by my bed head".

This was always followed by knocks, "hollow and loud, such as none of us could ever imitate".

Mr.Wesley went into the nursery, Hetty, Kezzy and Patty were asleep.

The knocks were loud, beneath and in the room, so Mr.
Wesley went below to the kitchen, struck with his stick against the rafters, and was answered "as often and as loud as I knocked".
