The Book of Dreams and Ghosts

To
judge
by
Mr.
Wesley's
letter
to
Sam,
of
12th
January,
there
was
no
trouble
between
the
29th
of
December
and
that
date.
On
the
19th
of
January,
and
the
30th
of
the
same
month,
Sam
wrote,
full
of
curiosity,
to
his
father
and
mother.
Mrs.
Wesley
replied
(25th
or
27th
January),
saying
that
no
explanation
could
be
discovered,
but
"it
commonly
was
nearer
Hetty
than
the
rest".
On
24th
January,
Sukey
said
"it
is
now
pretty
quiet,
but
still
knocks
at
prayers
for
the
king."
On
11th
February,
Mr.
Wesley,
much
bored
by
Sam's
inquiries,
says,
"we
are
all
now
quiet.
.
.
.
It
would
make
a
glorious
penny
book
for
Jack
Dunton,"
his
brother-in-law,
a
publisher
of
popular
literature,
such
as
the
Athenian
Mercury.
Emily
(no
date)
explains
the
phenomena
as
the
revenge
for
her
father's
recent
sermons
"against
consulting
those
that
are
called
cunning
men,
which
our
people
are
given
to,
and
it
had
a
particular
spite
at
my
father".
The
disturbances
by
no
means
ended
in
the
beginning
of
January,
nor
at
other
dates
when
a
brief
cessation
made
the
Wesleys
hope
that
Jeffrey
had
returned
to
his
own
place.
Thus
on
27th
March,
Sukey
writes
to
Sam,
remarking
that
as
Hetty
and
Emily
are
also
writing
"so
particularly,"
she
need
not
say
much.
"One
thing
I
believe
you
do
not
know,
that
is,
last
Sunday,
to
my
father's
no
small
amazement,
his
trencher
danced
upon
the
table
a
pretty
while,
without
anybody's
stirring
the
table.
.
.
.
Send
me
some
news
for
we
are
excluded
from
the
sight
or
hearing
of
any
versal
thing,
except
Jeffery."
