"Do you think that playing bagatelle is nice?" "Yes, I do; very nice." "Do you think George would like your playing with Captain De Baron?" "Why not with Captain de Baron?" said Mary, turning round upon her assailant with absolute ferocity. "I don't think he would like it. And then that fortune-telling!

One day as we were going to the place of prayer, a slave girl met us who was under the control of a spirit that made her clairvoyant, so that she brought great gain to her owners by fortune-telling. She kept following Paul and the rest of us, crying, "These men are servants of the Most High God; they proclaim to you the way of salvation."
"'Tis all stuff and rubbish, I tell you," he said, "and I won't have it! Fortune-telling be forbidden by law, and if I hear any more about you and your cards and your crystal, I'll inform against you."
Being an old practitioner in this art, Cadwallader knew it would be impossible for him to support his reputation in the promiscuous exercise of fortune-telling, because every person that should come to consult him would expect a sample of his skill relating to things past; and it could not be supposed that he was acquainted with the private concerns of every individual who might apply to him for that purpose.
Don't tell me, Corny; there is no such thing as fortune-telling; at least, nothing that can be depended on in all cases and this is one of downright imposition. 'Loping Dominie, forsooth!" Such were the Rev. Mr. Worden's sentiments on the subject of Mother Doortje's revelations.
