Wonderful or supernatural events are not so uncommon, rather they
are irregular in their incidence. Thus there may be not one marvel
to speak of in a century, and then often enough comes a plentiful
crop of them; monsters of all sorts swarm suddenly upon the earth,
comets blaze in the sky, eclipses frighten nature, meteors fall in
rain, while mermaids and sirens beguile, and sea-serpents engulf
every passing ship, and terrible cataclysms beset humanity.
But the strange event which I shall here relate came alone,
unsupported, without companions into a hostile world, and for that
very reason claimed little of the general attention of mankind. For
the sudden changing of Mrs. Tebrick into a vixen is an established
fact which we may attempt to account for as we will. Certainly it
is in the explanation of the fact, and the reconciling of it with
our general notions that we shall find most difficulty, and not in
accepting for true a story which is so fully proved, and that not
by one witness but by a dozen, all respectable, and with no
possibility of collusion between them. . . .
