The First Reading.

My general reading of this would be that if the queen of hearts were an unmarried woman she
was in danger of making an unhappy marriage, which would bring the displeasure of her
friends upon her. If she will avoid forming hasty friendships, and take the advice of a man
who is older and darker than herself, she will avoid much misfortune.

If married, the queen is the victim of an ill-assorted union, but she must be careful not to give
too much credence to the reports of friends, and must guard her own conduct carefully. We
will now proceed with the next deal, to see if we can find a more favourable augury in the
Book of Fate.

The Second Reading.

First line.—Eight of clubs, queen of hearts, six of spades, eight of spades, eight of hearts, six
of diamonds, ten of hearts, nine of clubs, six of hearts.

Second line.—Three of spades, ace of spades, three of diamonds, king of spades, ace of
diamonds, ace of hearts, king of diamonds, king of clubs, ace of clubs.

Third line.—Ten of spades, five of clubs, two of hearts, five of hearts, ten of diamonds, four
of hearts, two of clubs, knave of spades, three of hearts.

Fourth line.—Five of spades, four of clubs, six of clubs, queen of diamonds, four of
diamonds, king of hearts, nine of spades, five of diamonds, seven of clubs.

Fifth line.—Knave of clubs, ten of clubs, three of clubs, nine of diamonds, queen of spades,
seven of spades, knave of hearts, eight of diamonds, seven of diamonds.

Sixth line.—Seven of hearts, four of spades, queen of clubs, two of spades, knave of
diamonds, two of diamonds, nine of hearts.

Here our inquirer does not prove to be a very wise person. In spite of the warning and
displeasure of friends, regardless of the affection of a good man, and elated through
unexpected riches, she listens with credulous mind to one who will cause her much
unhappiness. Let us hope she will stop short of one fatal step, and take the good honourable
love that is awaiting her.

The ninth card is the king of clubs, and the five of the same suit following in our arranged
plan, then the five of diamonds, the ten of clubs, the two of diamonds, the six of hearts, and
the three of spades complete this reading. A reference to the signification will show the
importance of these cards.

Perhaps in the third reading we may have more success.

Second line.—Three of spades, two of spades, six of hearts, tight of spades, five of spades,
knave of clubs, seven of hearts, four of spades, queen of clubs.

Third line.—Five of hearts, two of diamonds, three of diamonds, queen of diamonds, eight of
hearts, three of clubs, five of clubs, ace of diamonds, six of diamonds.

Fourth line.—Four of diamonds, six of clubs, seven of dubs, seven of diamonds, six of
spades, nine of diamonds, knave of diamonds, nine of hearts, eight of diamonds.

Fifth line.—Ten of hearts, king of spades, two of hearts, ten of diamonds, ace of hearts, four
of hearts, king of hearts, king of diamonds, queen of spades.

Sixth line.—Two of clubs, seven of spades, knave of hearts, nine of clubs, three of hearts,
four of clubs, ace of spades.

The cards here are of better promise, though still full of warning. The ninth card is the seven
of hearts, which means unfaithfulness, followed by another card indicating domestic
dissension. The next is the knave of diamonds, and treachery is to be apprehended. But there
is considerable success if care is exercised, and later on there appears to be a happy marriage
with comfort and even luxury.

Throughout her life the inquirer would have to be on her guard against forming hasty
friendships, and refrain from listening to scandal about those near and dear to her. In this case
I should think there would be two marriages, the first not happy (which would probably be
dissolved by the law), then a happier time later on in life, with one who had been content to
wait.
