Diamonds.

The King of Diamonds.—Should the inquirer be a young girl, she will do well to note
whether this card falls on any of the matrimonial squares, 14, 22, 23, 24, or 32, for in that
case her present admirer is not to be trusted, unless he has cards of good import touching him,
or is preceded by either a heart or a club.

The Queen of Diamonds.—If this card falls on any of the matrimonial squares, 14, 22, 23, 24,
or 32, it signifies to a bachelor that he will be engaged to one whose character is to be read in
the surrounding cards. If this queen be preceded by a heart or a club, it promises good luck on
the whole; but if by a diamond or a spade, the augury is bad.

Should the inquirer be a young unmarried woman or a widow, this card falling on the above-
named squares indicates that she has a rival whose character is revealed by the cards touching
it.

The Knave of Diamonds.—For an unmarried woman or a widow, this card represents a lover
from a foreign country. If it is accompanied by a heart, he has many good points to
recommend him; if by a club, he is kind and generous; if by a diamond, he is bad-tempered,
exacting, and jealous; if by a spade, he is an undesirable, and she had better have nothing to
do with him.

The Ten of Diamonds.—The general meaning of this card is a journey.

If it falls between two spades, the journey will be long.

If it falls between two hearts, the journey will be short.

If it falls between two clubs, the journey will be successful.

If it falls between two diamonds, the journey will have bad results.

The Nine of Diamonds.—This card signifies news. If preceded by a heart or a club, the news
will be good. If preceded by a diamond or a spade, the news will be bad.

The Eight of Diamonds.—This card signifies a short journey. If it fall between two hearts, the
expedition will be an enjoyable pleasure trip.
