Author Notes
NOTE
Why Wilma thought she was safe from the Salem inquisition:

Massachusetts was settled by refugees from England, while the Dutch preferred New York. So the Salem "witches" were mostly unpopular Puritans, and Dutch Wilma was, she thought, discretely doing whatever witching she did.
She was fatally overconfident.
