About four hundred waiters noticed a speck of dust on an ash tray at the table next to ours, and swooped down on it. "Edwin is going to marry a palmist?" "Yes." "She must be mad. Hasn't she seen Edwin?" And just then who should stroll in but Edwin himself.
It had been called a loan, but he had not expected to get the money back, and never did get it. In California she had set herself up as a palmist and had become successful, a success she duplicated in New York; and she had gladly made herself useful in many ways to "Don" and those with whom he "worked."

Sinclair'd got the pip, or something, down at Aldershot. Expensive complaint, seemingly. So she'd come up to see a palmist, or some kind of an expert about him. She spoke of you, of her own accord. I said I was coming down here."
"A sister manicurist, I expect," Julien replied scornfully; "a palmist, or some creature of that sort." Kendricks hammered upon the table for the waiter. "One takes one's chances," he agreed, "but I do not think that the little girl over there would send you upon a fool's errand. There are other things in life, you know, Julien.
