The art of Telling Fortunes by Dice.
This is a certain and innocent way of finding out common occurences about
to take place. Take three dice, shake them well in the box with your
left hand, and then cast them out on a board or table, on which you have
previously drawn a circle with chalk.
Three—a pleasing surprise.
Four—a disagreeable one.
Five—a stranger who will prove a friend.
Six—loss of property.
Seven—undeserved scandal.
Eight—merited reproach.
Nine—a wedding.
Ten—a christening, at which some important event will occur.
Eleven—a death that concerns you.
Twelve—a letter speedily.
Thirteen—Tears and sighs.
Fourteen—beware that you are not drawn into some trouble or plot by a
secret enemy.
Fifteen—immediate prosperity and happiness.
Sixteen—a pleasant journey.
Seventeen—you will either be on the water, or have dealings with those
belonging to it, to your advantage.
Eighteen—a great profit, rise in life, or some most desireable good will
happen almost immediately; for the answers to the dice are fulfilled
within nine days. To show the same number twice at one trial, shows news
from abroad, be the number what it may. If the dice roll over the circle
the number thrown goes for nothing, but the occurrence shows sharp words;
and if they fall on the floor it is blows; in throwing out the dice, if
one remain on the top of the other, it is a present of which I would have
them take care.
Dominoes.
Lay them with their faces on the table, and shuffle them; then draw one
and see the number.
Double-six—receiving a handsome sum of money.
Six-five—going to a public amusement.
Six-four—law suits.
Six-three—ride in a coach.
Six-two—a present of clothing.
Six-one—you will soon perform a friendly action.
Six-blank—guard against scandal, or yon will suffer by your inattention.
Double-five—a new abode to your advantage.
Five-four—a fortunate speculation.
