Three—By the water, or a very short journey across water.
Two—Tears and vexation, sometimes a removal.
The following is a résumé of most of the cards and some curious combinations:
Four Aces—Honors, dignities, rise in society, or money, friendship with the great; but if all four are reversed, the contrary—debt, bankruptcy, ruin and even disgrace, therefore it is to be noticed particularly how they lie before reading the cards.
Four Kings—Great good luck, unexpected advancement, good and unlooked-for fortune.
Four Queens—Society, pleasure, amusements.
Four Jacks—Thoughts of either king or queen of each suit, friendly gathering.
Four Tens—Great gain, legacies, happiness.
Four Nines—Unexpected and sudden news; if two blacks together, not pleasant; if two reds, excellent.
