“That is all I have to tell you,” said the fortune-teller abruptly. “You can go.”

“You have told me strange things,” said Phil. “Will you tell me how it is you know so much about a stranger?”

“I have nothing more to tell you. You can go!” said the veiled lady impatiently.

“At least tell me how much I am to pay you.”

“Nothing.”

“But I thought you received fees.”

“Not from you.”

“Did you not take something from my friend who was in here before me?”

“Yes.”

“You told him a good fortune.”
