"Did you ever have anybody hand you a double handful of good luck while both your hands was full of bad luck, and stop to notice how your fingers behaved?" "No riddles, Eighteen," said I. "Leave out palmistry and manicuring."
These ladies were apt to be a trifle bitter, and much more interested in Equal Suffrage, Temperance, Cremation, and Edenic Diet than in subjects like Palmistry, Telepathy, and Hypnotism, which generally attracted the vague, speculative, feather-headed ones.
"You go back to your guests, little woman, and make 'em talk about anything in the world except this murder affair. Try frocks and frills; when Amy Vereker starts on them there's no stopping her; and if they won't serve, try palmistry and spooks and all that rubbish. Leave Maurice to me. He's faint with hunger, and inclined to make an ass of himself even more than usual! Off with you!"
Foss as it stamped its way down the street, and closing the door returned to the kitchen to discuss palmistry and other sciences until bedtime. Mrs. Dowson saw husband and daughter off to work in the morning, and after washing up the breakfast things drew her chair up to the kitchen fire and became absorbed in memories of the past.
"What! The palmistry man?" asked Mr Bostock, with a laugh. "Yes." And Adam Tellwright read: "'Balsamo, the famous palmist and reader of the future, begs to announce that he is making a tour through the principal towns, and will visit Hanbridge on the 22nd inst., remaining three days.
"Where are you going?" as she moved forward. "Remember, what I told you was confidential."

"You must come and be victimized." "In what way?" "By my latest fad palmistry.
You've set me on a line of thought you've got to clear the track." "Oh, very well." And Joan sat down and took the broad hand in hers. "I've read a lot of stuff since I saw you first," Raymond began. "There is something in this palmistry." "I just take the words and play with them," Joan replied. "I truly do not know whether there is anything in it or not. It is only fun here." "Look at me!"
During my travels in the Orient, after taking my degree, I spent months studying this fascinating art at the best sources of information in the world. I have read everything published on palmistry in every known language, and my library on the subject is perhaps the most complete in existence.
Presently I shall have to speak of the service this rendered me in my experiment of second sight. After having thus made my hands supple and docile, I went on straight to sleight-of-hand, and I more especially devoted myself to the manipulation of cards and palmistry.
For example, every one judges character to a certain extent by facial expression, manner, carriage and dress. A few of the methods used have become organized into specialties, such as the study of the head or phrenology, and the study of the hand or palmistry. All of these systems are really "materialistic" in that they postulate so close a union of mind and body as to make them inseparable.
