An enemy is for you, sir, in your present conditions of duty. Some spoil is here. A ditch, a wasp, and serpents at the top with tongues out. If you are now in politics or litigation defeats await you, for the briars are thick and a blind man at a desk holds some document. You appear to be very expectant, though fearing something. A woman is also against you. See, her head is up. She is fair in appearance and influential, yet false. Some men are back of her acts.
Dark complexioned people are, at present, your better allies and friends. Some doctor stands by your side, see his medicine chest, he is of fine mind. A straight path lies between you, though some road is cut in two; you are to be disappointed in an enterprise. Wheels are broken. This is connected with cars, engines and automobiles--have care.
Your mind is often too ready to speed forward. Things are so confusing.
Now concentrate on the future. You are enmeshed by others. Your social affairs, too, are meddled with by your family and pseudo friends. See the quacking duck and the distant goose, with dots, letters, etc. See the heads put together, with mixture of objects before them. No symbol of peace is in this realm, no light nor clean spots are as yet seen as results to you.
Ah! here. It is a long road into new conditions. Anger and loss cause you to turn away from the dark and vexing things. One true friend will follow. See the straight form and the dog and wheat--that signifies great good as in clean sheaves. That will be your best destiny in a new life-deal--far westward--some treasure in minerals, too. See the rocks shining forth.

Next: The monkey and the skunk! For a moment the hostess and the reader exchanged words. "I wonder if there is such an object now in our midst! I am full of laugh, though not in the belief of such a fact. Oh, it is too amusing how these objects will form. I wish some one else to see this strange cup."
This gentleman has need to be most cautious in some of his undertakings. Do not deal with uncertain characters--see the monkey and the cat-tiger or skunk looking object--lest some vile scandal becomes your lot. Cross-roads, hollows, and eels--slippery things--are near your present wishes. The keys, circles, anchor, squares, links--these represent realizations. Yours are in other lines, yet a bell is traced near you. A belated wish lies under cover. It is in a field not yet in your thoughts, though an anchor, a human form and a crooked, broken path lie yet beyond that.
THIRD TOSS.
Now is revealed some disaster to friends, confusion and a large family whirlwind, also, some obstinate man--see the rickety team with the mule in the lead, as running away--a woman in black as the outcome. See how she climbs the steep, jagged hill. Your face is turning towards her in mutual friendship. The moon shines on the top of the mountain--your destination. You will no doubt wed with the widow--this woman in black.
