And upon my soul you were justified in thinking so almost! Look at that line. But it isn't a certainty. Look at that line!" Balsamo gazed at him coldly, and Ralph Martin knew not what to do or to say. He was astounded; he was frightened; he was desolated. He perceived at once that palmistry was after all a terrible reality. "Tell me some more," he murmured.
A copy of the previous evening's Signal was lying on an empty deck-chair. It had been out all night, and was dampish. Tellwright picked it up, having finished his tea, and threw a careless eye over it. He was determined to talk about something. "By Jove!" he said. "That Balsamo johnny is coming to Hanbridge!" "Yes, didn't you know?" said Florence, agreeably bent on resuscitating the corpse.
You were obliged to flee from Mitlau in the night, to save yourself, your treasures, and wonderful man-traps, and the beautiful Lorenza Feliciana. Beware! The Empress of Russia had a certain Joseph Balsamo pursued, who had practised great deception, and people pretend that he resembles Count Cagliostro.
Balsamo assumed her family name, added a title of nobility, and was known henceforward as the Count Alessandro Cagliostro. In Messina he met a mysterious person whom he calls Altotas, and from whom, he says in his Memoir, he learnt much.
"Please keep your hands still," said Balsamo, firmly, and proceeded: "But you have another lover, older, who has recently come into your life. Fair, tall. A successful man who will always be successful. Is it not so?" "Yes," a little voice muttered. "You can't make up your mind between them? Answer me." "No." "And you wish to learn the future. I will tell you you will marry the fair man.
They then made off, accompanied by Balsamo, leaving the unlucky silversmith to recover or die at his leisure. Nature chose the former course; and soon after daylight he was restored to his senses, smarting in body from his blows and in spirit for the deception of which he had been the victim.
See "Memoirs of a Physician, Joseph Balsamo," by ALEXANDER DUMAS, I. 15, 21, 82; II. 50, 62, 70. Whether the cases reported by Dr. Gregory deserve to be ranked as facts or fictions is a question which we need not wait to solve, before we reject the "Revelations" of Davis. DR. PRIESTLEY, "Disquisitions," p. 2. "Systême de la Nature," I. 97, 108. DR. PRIESTLEY, "Disquisitions," pp. 27, 38, 60.
No! palms up!" Balsamo gaped at them a long time, rubbing his chin. Then he rose, adjusted the transparent glass ball so that the light came through it on to Adam's hands, sat down again and resumed his stare. "Do you want to know everything?" he asked. "Yes of course." "Everything?" "Yes." A trace of weakness in this affirmative. "Well, you mustn't expect to live much after fifty-two.
A deplorable scene followed, in which the presence of Balsamo did not prevent Florence Bostock from conveying clearly to Ralph what she thought of him. They spoke before Balsamo quite freely, as two people will discuss maladies before a doctor. Ralph departed first; then Florence. Then Balsamo gathered up the sovereigns.
Know, O dreamer, that in them alone consists the enjoyment of a finite existence: know that through the virtuous use of those five senses, earthly happiness is attainable! Dost thou still tremble in thy unbelief? Arise, Balsamo, and behold the teachings of eternity!" As the last sentence resounded in the heart of Cagliostro, up into the air floated the Rosicrucian and the Voice.
