A third tactic Smith used was to allow a very short time, or place a time limit on how long the woman had to respond to his proposal.
Brigham Young informed Martha Brotherton the very day he proposed to her that, "Joseph will marry us to-day."
She stalled for time and managed to leave the room.
The following day Young approached Martha again-pressing her for an answer.[61]
After several failures with Lucy Walker, Smith told her: "I will give you untill to-morrow to decide."[62]
And after his proposal of marriage to Helen Mar Kimball, she said, "He left me to reflect upon it for the next twenty-four hours."[63]
