In her second toss, the reading was as follows:
You are a little more practical. Here is formed a dusting-brush, also a kitchen and yard with a happy family of chickens, meaning cares and pets; also a horse and sleigh. You love luxuries. You have traveled over land and seas. The ferry-boat is here.
I read now in your third, the certainty, though not fully, noting some of the minor events. Everything has changed from your present thinking. You have climbed the ladder to some public recognition by the influence of friends. You have yet much to achieve--will become a real benefactress. So I read by the people before you. The two stars yet beyond, and the sword which belongs to your family, represent some hero in wars yet to be.
The national bird, either an eagle or turkey, promises good results.
The trials of others will fall upon you, all through life. Your views here are full of the different objects. A tall visitor will give you a surprise, attended by coming pleasure, and a new friend; also a foe--a spider. You have been disappointed in three different forms, one is yet to entail a financial loss--fish, you see, have their heads and tails cut off; and the rings are broken for some past and present enterprise. You are learning mental philosophy, also, from a male relative to whom you are very dear.
How truly and wonderfully you have read! I have also gained an idea how to trace and to hold the mind in other special desires. Thanks to you for this lesson.

The next was a dainty, little, self-conscious lady, who is desirous of some special, social accomplishment, aside from her sisters. She is very cunning. See the little head of the fox near her, though vexations are with her now, yet the three similar little straight forms, or lines, are realizations, as in this cup, of some pleasant event. The road here in view, a short and agreeable journey, upon which you meet a lady friend who is to visit you soon. These upper dots are letters and small packages near at hand, with two little hearts--love secrets.
You will, said the reader, receive many. One, that is in present expectation, containing an invitation affording pleasure. The flowers bespeak it, being near the edge of the cup, with the formation of letters. H will be the initial of one of the writers. Now, you have a little man who is to be cut off from some desire--a broken road is near him--with a period of indecision and anxiety. Two male forms are holding his desires by their neglect, not by malice. The wish is in their power, you see, yet they are looking away from it.
Your third is with tears for a friend, though no death symbol is near. Ah, here it is! You are to wed with a fair gentleman, not your slight form--first love. You will be fairly happy. Confusion is shown by the various objects in crooked and wavy lines, with those tiny crosses, many little cares, and yet the tree shades the house. Your castle on the highway with the little child's crib and the parrot, an imitative, impudent inmate of the home.
