1905. Author of pseudo-realistic fictions, Helen Reimensnyder Martin, claims in the preface that the psychic phenomenon described in this story is not fictitious. Sabina begins: The Wilt household was in a state of excitement bordering upon consternation. Levi, the head of the family, had just come in from the barn to the large kitchen, where his wife and children, together with Susanna, his wife's widowed sister, who lived with them in the capacity of hired girl, were all gathered about the dinner-table; and the announcement he had made as he took his seat had almost the effect of a dynamite bomb.

1912. Martin is also the author of The Snob: the Story of a Marriage; Tillie, the Mennonite Maid, The Crossways, etc. The story begins: Doctor Thorpe was taking a hasty dinner before his evening office hour, which of late had actually begun to be rather filled with patients, although the young physician was having a long, hard struggle among the rural Pennsylvania Dutch to overcome their prejudice against the modern method of dispensing with drugs in favor of sanitary living; not to mention the much deeper prejudice against a doctor who was a city stranger and who did not mind his own business, but went about trying to stir up the whole sleepy township with his howl for good roads and no graft. Also the rumor, spread abroad by his prying and loquacious, albeit loyal, housekeeper, of his tony ways and other eccentricities, such as his insisting upon his meals being served in the dining-room instead of the kitchen; his daily (not weekly) baths; his having the parlor shutters open on week days as well as Sundays; his motor runabout; his sleeping on a cot on the roof of the porch; these and other madnesses had served to intensify the local prejudice against a towner.

In Absalom's two visits Tillie had been sufficiently impressed with the steadiness of purpose and obstinacy of the young man's character to feel appalled at the fearful task of resisting his dogged determination to marry her. So confident he evidently was of ultimately winning her that at times Tillie found herself quite sharing his confidence in the success of his courting, which her father's interdict she knew would not interfere with in the least. She always shuddered at the thought of being Absalom's wife; and a feeling she could not always fling off, as of some impending doom, at times buried all the high hopes which for the past seven years had been the very breath of her life.
