You misrepresent the scenario to the point of fabrication; while each event you describe did individually (sort of) happen, the narrative is all scrambled. And your "source" is just a link to another article, which 404s.

Wikipedia link, for the curious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Howe_Lovatt

Fascinating information to supplement. However the Wikipedia doesn't produce any citations either, so tough to accept human edits as truth. additionally, the Wikipedia article actually doesn't contradict what ehhhhhh commented.

Radiolab had an episode interviewing Margaret Howe, which was very informative if my memory serves.

The article lists four citations, not sure why you claim there are none?
