On the hour and day arranged by the two, the living woman had the tea ready when she heard a great noise and wind, then a ball of fire appeared before her and said.
"If you knew the trouble you had put me to you would never have asked me." The living person knew it was her own sister's voice, she never said a word. The ball of fire disappeared again, and never said a word about tea.
