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.
