Seven cards are now counted from right to left, beginning with the queen of hearts, who represents the lady consulting the cards. The seventh being the king of diamonds, the following may be said: "You often think of a fair man in uniform." The next seventh card (counting the king of diamonds as one) proves to be the ace of clubs: "You will receive from him some very joyful tidings; he, besides, intends making you a present." Count the ace of clubs as one, and proceeding to the next seventh card, the queen of spades: "A widow is endeavoring to injure you on this very account; and (the seventh card counting the queen as one being the ten of diamonds) the annoyance she gives you will oblige you to either take a journey or change your residence; but (this ten of diamonds being imprisoned between two sevens) your journey or removal will meet with some obstacle." On proceeding to count as before, calling the ten of diamonds one, the seventh card will be found to be the queen of hearts herself, the person consulting; therefore, the conclusion may be stated as: "But this you will overcome of yourself, without needing anyone's aid or assistance." The two cards at either extremity of the half circle are now taken, which are respectively the eight of spades and seven of clubs, and may be read: "A sickness which will result in your receiving a small sum of money." Repeat the same maneuver, which brings together the ace of clubs and the ten of diamonds: "Good news, which will make you decide on taking a journey, destined to prove a very happy one, and which will occasion you to receive a sum of money." The next cards united, being the seven of spades and the seven of hearts, you say: "Tranquillity and peace of mind, followed by slight anxiety, quickly followed by love and happiness." Then come the nine of clubs and the jack of clubs: "You will certainly receive money through the exertions of a clever dark young man." Queen of hearts and king of diamonds: "Which comes from a fair man in uniform. This recontre announces great happiness in store for you, and the complete fulfillment of your wishes." Jack of diamonds and nine of diamonds: "Although this happy result will be delayed some time through a fair young man, not famed for his delicacy." Eight of hearts and ten of hearts: "Love, joy and triumph." "The queen of spades, who remains alone, is the widow endeavoring to injure you, and finds herself deserted by all her friends." The cards that have been in use are now gathered up and shuffled and cut with the left hand. They are then made into three packs by dealing one to the left, one to the middle, and one to the right; a fourth is laid aside to form "a surprise." Then the cards are continued to be dealt to each of the three packs in turn until their number is exhausted, when it will be found that the left hand and middle packs contain each five cards, while the one on the right hand consists of only four.
