The Westminster Gazette

Kensington Horror-

The Westminster Gazette, September 25th.

"A Hampstead Mystery.

The Kensington Horror, the stabbing woman, and the woman in black are vividly recalled to mind by a series of events that have taken place recently in the neighborhood of Hampstead.

Yes, uh, there's a note here to say that the marriage would be an absolutely quiet one at St. George's, Hanover Square, and that the party would return to the furnished house at Lancaster Gate, which has been taken by Miss Aloysius Doran.

Two days later, Westminster Gazette, that's Wednesday last, October the 17th, there's a curt announcement that the wedding had taken place.

Well, those are all the notices that appeared before the disappearance of the bride.

Hmm? Before, before the what? The vanishing of the lady.

Truth, which is obsessed by the idea that the whole spiritualistic movement and everything connected with it is one huge, senseless conspiracy to deceive, concocted by knaves and accepted by fools, had the usual contemptuous and contemptible articles which ended by a prayer to Elsie that she should finish her fun and let the public know how it really was done.

The best of the critical attacks was in the Westminster Gazette, who sent a special commissioner to unravel the mystery and published a result on January the twelfth, nineteen twenty-one.

By kind permission, I reproduce the article.

Do fairies exist? Investigation in a Yorkshire valley.

Extra special, the extra special, the Kensington Horror-

The Westminster Gazette, September 25th, at Hempstead yesterday.

The Kensington Horror, the stabbing woman, and the woman in black are vividly recalled to mind by a series of events that have taken place recently in the neighborhood of Hempstead.

Several cases have occurred of young children straying from home or failing to return from their playing on the heath.

All gentle, soft-voiced people who allowed me to share their lives for a little while and tried in their simple way to be kind to me.

My thanks are due to Miss Muriel Robertson for allowing me to use her Uganda songs and to the Westminster Gazette for permission to reprint them.

Shorthand, right.

You're reading telegrams sent across the country, newspaper clippings from the Westminster Gazette.

Ship logs.

Ship logs, invoices, and perhaps most strikingly, transcriptions of wax cylinder audio recordings.

Before I left him, I remembered what Jonathan put in his diary of the professor's perturbation at reading something in an evening paper at the station at Exeter.

So, seeing that Dr Seward keeps his newspapers, I borrowed the files of the Westminster Gazette and the Pall Mall Gazette and took them to my room.

I remember how much the Daily Graph and the Whitby Gazette, of which I had made cuttings, helped us to understand the terrible events at Whitby when Count Dracula landed.

So I shall look through the evening papers since then, and perhaps I shall get some new light.

His eyes suddenly seemed to catch something in one of them.

At the Westminster Gazette, I knew it by the colour.

And he grew quite white.

He read something intently, groaning to himself.

I have an idea that Van Helsing thinks he knows too, but he will only let out enough at a time to whet curiosity.

He went to Exeter yesterday and stayed there all night.

Today he came back and almost bounded into the room at about half past five o'clock and thrust last night's Westminster Gazette into my hand.

What do you think of that? he asked, as he stood back and folded his arms.
