"Well, what's the matter with these I've——," began the young man, but the interpreter hushed him.
"He says you must stay in Chicago, good place. If you travel you will not have as much money as you will have when you get with the fat man. You must stay here if you want to be rich and have good clothes. Aha! this is very good. Put your head near. He says you are very warm-hearted, like all of the women. Yes, yes, that's it, you love one in particular, your wife or some one. He wants to know who it is you love."
"I am not married," said the young man.
"He says," resumed the interpreter, "that it's all right."
"All right, eh?"
"Yes, you will marry her, but not this year."
"How long do you think you will live?"
"Give it up."
"You will live to be 87. He says so."
That was all, and the puzzled young man arose to go away.
