We commence from the ace of hearts, thus: a considerable windfall will
happen in your family, young lady. Either you or your parents will draw
a prize in the lottery, or heaven will drop some other nice morsel into
your mouth (ten of clubs).
This will give occasion to a journey, which you will take with an
acquaintance (king of spades and seven of diamonds). This journey will
be very agreeable to you, and especially will you enjoy yourself at
a ball, to which you will be invited by a friend of your travelling
companion (knave of clubs and eight of diamonds). You will then dance
a cotillion with a relative of your intended, perhaps with your own
brother-in-law that is to be (knave of diamonds).
When you return home, you will find a letter, at the sight of which you
will be disturbed, the hand-writing being that of a person unfriendly
to you (queen of spades, ace of spades). You open it, and behold it
is a proposal of marriage (nine of clubs), and from a relative of the
gentleman who invited you to the ball (king of clubs), which touches
the (nine of clubs).
As, however, you promise yourself nothing but vexation (eight of
spades) from this marriage, you refuse him (ten of spades), and it will
soon appear that a better fortune lies before you (eight of clubs).
Soon after, a wedding takes place (ten of hearts), namely, that of
your sister or friend (queen of diamonds), who, therefore, does not
stand between you and your intended to separate you, but to unite you.
The bridegroom is the gentleman who was your partner in the cotillion
at that ball (knave of diamonds). At this wedding you will among
others see your intended (knave of hearts), with whom you are already
acquainted. You will also meet there a gentleman, who, when you last
saw him, was dangerously ill (seven of spades, knave of spades, and ten
of diamonds). Your intended seizes the opportunity to offer himself to
you, and you become betrothed to him (nine of hearts). You will receive
a present from a relative or friend, perhaps from your brother (ace of
clubs, and king of diamonds).
Something now occurs to separate you from your betrothed (nine of
spades). It almost seems as if you were jealous of a lady whom he
formerly loved (queen of clubs, seven of hearts). A very tender letter
which he writes to you, from a bed of sickness upon which his grief has
prostrated him (ace of diamonds, nine of diamonds), soon reconciles
you again, and as not long after something occurs which places him
in a position to support a wife in comfort (seven of clubs), the
happy marriage is celebrated. Dear relatives (king of hearts, king of
diamonds, and queen of diamonds) prepare for you joyful surprises,
which combine to render this day an infinitely happy one.
