cousin had not informed her of what I had told him, but she had heard nothing of it. I repeated to her my statement to Count Y—, but she seemed to look upon this as a sort of kind consolation, as all the prophets had been long since dead. | {{Style P-No indent|cousin had not informed her of what I had told him, but she had heard nothing of it.

Three weeks had passed away, and yet no trace of the money; the police had searched everybody and everywhere, but nothing could be found. Some persons connected with the family, who had heard of my positive assertion, and who had given up all hopes of recovering the lost property, said to me, “Well, sir, where's the money?” “The money,” replied I, “is all safe. I never said when it would be found, I only asserted ''it would ''be found, and of that 1 am as convinced as that we are standing here." The very moment I had uttered these words came the ''firm conviction, ''and I added, “Now I can tell you what I could not before, for in fact I had never thought of the ''when ''or ''where; ''the money will be found next Wednesday morning.” And so it was, at nine o’clock, but the loo florins, as I had foretold, were lost. This may appear rather extraordinary; for me it is quite simple, on the principle of Socrates. From the time Count Y— had told me of the loss my mind was ''unconsciously ''occupied with the question whether the money would be found, whether the whole or only a part of it, and the moment he stood up to depart the ''firm conviction ''was there as above stated. | Three weeks had passed away, and yet no trace of the money; the police had searched everybody and everywhere, but nothing could be found.
