1 A Presentiment, and How It Was Fulfilled J. D. Harris , 1892 single work short story mystery
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , March vol. 27 no. 322 1892; (p. 374-379) Murder mystery. A dream foreshadowing her sister's brutal murder darkens the joy of the latter's wedding. The deed, committed soon after the newly-married couple's return from an Italian honeymoon, results in grief for many months until the murdress, her brother-in-law's new and controlling housekeeper, is exposed. She claims to have been his first true wife and controlled him by threatening to expose the vicitm as never truly married and thereby ruin her 'pure name' ... Well plotted though the hold over the victim's husband seems a little tenuous. (PB)
