When the Line of Heart is very thin and with no branches, it denotes coldness and want of heart.
When there is no Line of Heart whatever, it is a sign of a cold-blooded, unemotional nature. Such people can, however, be brutally sensual and especially so if the Mount of Venus is high (see Mounts, page [140]).
A broken Heart Line is a certain sign that some terrible tragedy in the affections will at some time or other overwhelm the subject.
It may not often be found nowadays, but I have seen it in some few cases, and these persons never recovered the loss of the loved one or ever had love in their lives again.
CHAPTER VIII
SIGNS RELATING TO MARRIAGE
What is called the Line of Marriage is that mark or marks, as the case may be, found on the side of the Mount under the fourth finger (1, [Plate XVII].).
I will first proceed to give all the details possible about these lines, and then call my reader's attention to the other marks on the hand that qualify these Lines of Marriage, and further add a wealth of information regarding them.
The Line, or Lines, of Marriage may be found as very short marks almost on the very side of the hand, or they may appear as quite long lines rising from the side of the hand into the face of the Mount of Mercury, or, in some cases, going farther still into the hand itself.
