The name of the spiritual medium, Princess Popoffski, reminds me of Peter Popoff, the phony evangelist and faith healer exposed by The Amazing James Randi's investigative team. (Seems the voice of God revealing information about strangers in his crowds was really his wife feeding him information via a radio receiver hidden in his ear.)

I guess E.F. Benson didn't have a lot of faith in such things.
