Loneliness. An instigation. The married man’s meat, the single man’s poison.
Lottery. From lot, state; awry, askew. A cynical definition of marriage.
Love. A transitory derangement of all the five senses. The chemistry of attraction.
Lure. Cupid’s signposts, not always safe to follow. They may be found in many and fantastic shapes, such as a bow of ribbon, a stray ringlet, a side-long glance, a sigh, or a breath of heliotrope.
M
M is so ancient that no one really knows where it came from. However, because of the fragment of the jar shown here (see cut), found just outside the Garden of Eden and representing two outsiders bargaining, the origin of this letter has been credited to the Hebrews, and is interesting in showing the politeness of these early people. Money, Moses, and Mercantile all strengthen this theory.
Girls of this letter will be Modest and will have Merry and Magnetic dispositions, and will be most happy when married to Masterful, Manly men of Means.
