The result of the racing had been curious. In the three principal races the favourites had been beaten: one by an accident, another on a technical point, and the third by fair running. And what horses had won? The names were precisely those which the "fortune-teller" had predicted.
Did the fortune-teller say anything about your getting rich?" "No. I can't remember that she did. Oh, yes! she said I would make my fortune, but not in the way I expected." "That is queer!" said Mr. Wilbur, interested. "What could she mean?" "I suppose she meant that I would not save a competence out of five dollars a week." "Maybe so."
I could not prevent these little betrayals of himself, however; for, by this time, my companion was too much excited, to hear reason. "The lady that you love," answered the fortune-teller, deliberately, and with the manner of one that proceeded with great confidence, "is very handsome, in the first place." "True as the sun in the heavens, Mother!"
If the past has left traces behind it, it is not improbable that future events have, as it were, their roots in the present. If a fortune-teller gives you minute details of past facts known only to yourself, why should he not foresee the events to be produced by existing causes?
She was a woman of great repute in and about Albany, as a fortune-teller, and was supposed to be conversant with practices more criminal. She at last became so well known as a bad woman, that she found it advisable to leave Albany, after she had settled certain lawsuits in which she had become entangled.
There was a duchess who looked like a fortune-teller and a fortune-teller who looked like a duchess. Madame Clarence was pretty enough to maintain some old liaisons, but not to form new ones, and she generally inspired a quiet esteem.
Great things, therefore, great designs, and great thoughts are of necessity reflected in the smallest actions, and that so faithfully, that should a conspirator shuffle and cut a pack of playing-cards, he will write the history of his plot for the eyes of the seer styled gypsy, fortune-teller, charlatan, or what not.
I took the note, immediately departed for the place to which the fortune-teller had direfted me, and after travelling all night and half the next day reached it, and sat down to wait for what might happen.
"Good luck to you, dear boy," she said softly. "If I ever were a fortune-teller, I would say that your star was for happiness and success." He bent and kissed her cheek lightly. "I'll have my try at success," he said. "But the other isn't so easy." "You'll find them one and the same," was her parting prophecy.
They were strengthened in this resolution by a famous fortune-teller, who foretold that Kathleen would become a grand lady live in a castle, ride in a coach, and have jewels and fine dresses, ponies, pages, parrots, and poodle-dogs to her heart's content. So they kept as keen a watch over her as though she had been a royal princess, whose marriage was a great affair of state.
