The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·
Andrew Lang
226
In
the
afternoon,
when
the
devils
went
out
of
the
ladies,
the
fowls
flew
into
a
state
of
wild
excitement,
while
the
swine
rushed
furiously
about
and
tried
to
climb
a
wall.
The
family
have
become
Christians,
the
fires
have
ceased;
Mr.
Chang
is
an
earnest
inquirer,
but
opposed,
for
obvious
reasons,
to
any
public
profession
of
our
religion.
{233b}
In
Mr.
Niu's
case
"strange
noises
and
rappings
were
frequently
heard
about
the
house.
The
buildings
were
also
set
on
fire
in
different
places
in
some
mysterious
way."
The
Christians
tried
to
convert
Mr.
Niu,
but
as
the
devil
now
possessed
his
female
slave,
whose
success
in
fortune-telling
was
extremely
lucrative,
Mr.
Niu
said
that
he
preferred
to
leave
well
alone,
and
remained
wedded
to
his
idols.
{234}
We
next
offer
a
recent
colonial
case,
in
which
the
symptoms,
as
Mr.
Pecksniff
said,
were
"chronic".
