He found June, and said to her: “June, if that gypsy woman comes here again do not let her go until she tells my fortune.”
“Why, Scott, what is the matter?”
“Nothing, only that I wish to see her. You will not forget, will you?”
“No,” June replied, wondering at the time why Scott had suddenly grown so foolish.
Scott was preparing to leave the house one day when June entered his room and startled him with the intelligence that there was a fortune teller below.
“Is it the one who told my fortune before?” he asked, in a voice that caused June to wonder.
“Yes,” she answered.
“Send her here, please.”
June left him, wondering what could have come over Scott to cause him to be so deeply interested in fortune-telling. She conducted old Meg to Scott’s room, then left them alone.
