Plied in manuscript. The only difference was in chapter xxviii. where
the printed Rouen text may have varied. In the MS. at all events, it is
stated that on March 21, the spirit of Sister Alix de Telieux struck
thirty-three great strokes on the refectory of her convent, 'mighty and
marvellous,' implying that her thirty-three years of purgatory were
commuted into thirty-three days. A bright light, scarcely endurable,
then appeared, and remained for some eight minutes. The nuns then went
into chapel and sang a Te Deum. At the end of the volume, a later hand
added, in manuscript, that the truth of the contemporary record was
confirmed by the tradition of the oldest sisters who had received it
from eye-witnesses of the earlier generation. The writer says that she
had great difficulty in finding the printed copy, but that when young,
in 1630, she received the tale from a nun, then aged ninety-four. This
nun would be born in 1536, ten years after these events. She got the
story from her aunt, a nun, Gabrielle de Beaudeduit, qui etoit de ce

in the library of the Jesuits of Lyons. He was unaware of an edition in
12mo of 1580, cited by Brunet. To come to the story, one of our earliest
examples of a 'medium,' and of communications by raps. The nunnery was
reformed in 1516. A pretty sister, Alix de Telieux, fled with some of
the jewels, lived a 'gay' life, and died wretchedly in 1524. She it was,
as is believed, who haunted a sister named Anthoinette de Grolee, a girl
of eighteen. The disturbance began with a confused half-dream. The girl
fancied that the sign of the cross was made on her brow, and a kiss
impressed on her lips, as she wakened one night. She thought this was
mere illusion, but presently, when she got up, she heard, 'comme soubs
ses pieds frapper aucuns petis coups,' 'rappings,' as if at the depth of
four inches underground. This was ex
