Not long after this, terrible fear seized the woman. A horror rested upon her, and she began to confess. She even went from house to house among her unbelieving neighbors, and confessed that the man she had been living with for years was not her husband, that she ran away from England, and left a kind husband and one child. Many other wicked acts she confessed. Her repentance seemed to be genuine, and in some cases she restored what she had taken wrongfully. {LS 130.3}

Ikke længe efter dette, greb en frygtelig angst kvinden. En rædsel hvilede over hende, og hun begyndte at bekende. Hun gik endda fra hus til hus iblandt hendes ikke-troende naboer, og bekendte at den mand hun havde boet sammen i årevis ikke var hendes mand, som hun løb bort fra England, og forlod en venlig mand og et barn. Hun bekendte mange andre onde handlinger. Hendes anger synes at være oprigtige, og i nogle tilfælde genoprettede hun det hun havde gjort galt.
