you mean something like this?

class PageHelper
  def has_text?
   # blah
  end
end

describe "cool page" do
   subject {PageHelper.new}

   before :all do
      PageHelper.new
   end

   it "has something" do
     should have_text("blah")
   end

end

Doesn't seem too bad. I will give it a thought!
