In reply to Prof. Everett Willoughby (msg # 8):
Soon enough, a woman comes to the front door.
"Abigail," says the older Collins man,
"these... people... say they... Well, I'll let them explain it to you."

You explain the situation to Abigail, sticking with the same story you've already explained to the Collins man.
Her reaction is increasingly... well, horrified. "
I have sent for no such people! John Loomis has been here every day for
weeks! It's
clear what's truly going on here!"
You hold your breath, waiting to hear what Abigail thinks is truly going on here...
Only Harry, the Collinsport native, has a sneaking suspicion of what's coming, and she successfully hides a smile.
Abigail looks from her brother to John Loomis, to the doctor and the professor, looking at her with expectant faces. "I can hardly believe you're all
looking at me that way! How can there be even the
slightest shred of doubt? Obviously,
this is the work of WITCHCRAFT!"
Her brother and John Loomis got an
oh please no look on their faces at the words
this is the work of, which changed to
oh no when the final word came, but their expressions did not slow Abigail down in the least. "
The devil must have sent a
fetch! An
infernal double! To
impersonate John Loomis and send these people here! I must write to the Reverend Trask about this
at once!" With that, she disappears back into the house, and you can just about hear her dashing up the steps.
