EARLY HISTORY OF CLOUD COUNTY
BY H.E. SMITH
APRIL 16, 1875

CAMP-MEETING
Minchauski, the great clairvoyant sibyl, who could miraculously see the shadow of coming events in a globe of mesmerized water—at so much a head. Alice was betrothed to a slim, handsome, long-haired college student, who wrote poetry and had an Eolian harp in one window and a rose geranium in the other, and meant to go into the literary line as soon as he was done college. He was very much in love, and Alice was—oh! Dreadfully in love, but that didn’t at all prevent this truthful young lady from flirting with a dozen other young men all at once, and telling no end of white lies about her engagement.
She was exceedingly attractive, but not so pretty as she was right, piquant and spirited. At this very time, when she lay awake nights thinking of her betrothed, and never went to bed without tenderly kissing his photograph, at this very time she was flirting desperately with Tom Creighton, her lover’s classmate, a rich man’s son who was at home on a three months’ leave of absence, which had been recommended by the college faculty. Worst of all, she had allowed Tom Creighton, in the presence of a third person, to tell her a slanderous story about her lover, one which she knew must be false; and there she sat and listened to it without the faintest attempt to fight for her lover’s good name, just for fear Tom Creighton would think she was engaged, if she said anything.
I don’t defend her, mind you; I think such conduct was simply scandalous, and such a young lady don’t deserve even to have anybody fall in love with her; no, not if she lived to be a thousand years old.
“Well, what does the sibyl say?” asked Aunt Laetie. “She’s a humbug,” said Alice, savagely. “I’m sorry I went. It’s real silly and wrong to encourage such wicked imposture, besides.” This time Sue laughed. “The sibly didn’t say Alice was to be married, and so she thinks the sibly is a humbug.” Said Sue. “We went into a darkened room, and in one corner there sat a little ghostly, waxy-looking old woman, with great hollow black eyes. She had a glass globe of water before her on a little stand. The water had been magnetized, she said and she being a clairvoyant, was able, by her second sight, to see in the water beautiful pictures, and visions of events to come. Then she took Alice’s hand and pressed it against her forehead, and began to wink and roll up her great hollow eyes in an awful manner. It was real scary, Aunt Lactie. By and by she bobbed her head about and mumbled something and, still with her eyes rolled back and half shut, she began looking into the globe of magnetized water.
