Jane calls Clementine for an appointment, but the psychic has no appointments available until September. She suggests that Jane and Genevieve come to Camp Mira. Genevieve is enthusiastic, and when Jane tells Allison, she wants to go too.
The morning of the trip, Jane picks up Allison and Genevieve, and they begin the three-hour journey. Despite Allison’s dislike of Genevieve, the two bond over motherhood and managing a household, and Jane feels a pang of envy.
Clementine meets Jane and her friends at the ferry landing, explaining that she might be too busy for a private reading. She suggests that they attend some of the other events before stopping by her cottage.
Camp Mira is a Spiritualist community, and Jane the list of seminars and presentations includes “Candle Manifestation, […] Energy Clearing, […] Past Life Regression” (240). They agree to meet at the session on past-life regression. Jane attends a “lecture on the feminist history of Spiritualism” (241). The woman giving the lecture discusses the connection between spiritualism, suffragism, and abolitionism. She also talks about motherhood as a revolutionary act. Jane finds the lecture fascinating and takes notes for a possible future exhibit.
Jane, Allison, and Genevieve attend the session on past-life regression.
