But that there is some misfortune or hindrance in the future is shown by the symbol of the broken cross in the bottom of the cup; the head and shoulders of the woman beside it suggest that this trouble will be caused by a woman. Compensation will be found in the happy love affair, which is clearly predicted by the cherries, the figures of the man and woman embracing, and the man's hat and pipe. Large dots signify that wealth will be added to happiness. This event must not be expected for some months, as the symbols are in the bottom of the cup. The letter "N" with the dots and small tree beyond show an immediate pleasant happening, in connection with a person whose name begins with that letter. [Illustration: FIGURE XI] PRINCIPAL SYMBOLS _Near rim_.--Mass of leaves. Stones. _On sides_.--Chair. Query. Two boots. _On circle_.--Figure of man and woman embracing. Small bunch of cherries beneath. Several dots. Man's hat and pipe in conjunction. _In centre_.--Broken cross. Head and shoulders of woman. _Under handle_.--Letter "N." Small tree beyond. INTERPRETATION FIGURE XII The present conditions of this consultant are not cheering. The large cloud, associated with dots, the small dog on the opposite side, and the policeman beyond, all point to grievous money worries, possibly caused by dishonesty. The somewhat indistinct axe implies a brave effort to overcome, and final mastery of, some of the difficulties. However, the future has more pleasant prospects, and may be looked forward to with hope. The symbols of the clover and cherries, give assurance of this. The spray of ivy speaks of the patience with which the present trials are borne, also that true friends are a source of comfort to the consultant. [Illustration: FIGURE XII] PRINCIPAL SYMBOLS _On side_.--Small dog lying down. _Near rim_.--Policeman. Indistinct symbol of an axe. Large cloud. Dots. _Centre_.--Two small butterflies. Small symbol of a stocking. Small bunch of cherries. Spray of ivy. Clover. INTERPRETATION FIGURE XIII The consultant who has "turned" this cup must be prepared for delays, and must not expect real happiness until rather late in life, this being shown by the bonnet and strings on the side of the cup. The small symbol of birds on a perch gives further evidence that having to wait is a feature of the consultant's lot. The rock and pipe beyond show some dismay with regard to a dear friend.
