nor yet months, but weeks; money in three parcels within a
4, and weeks they are, I'm certain. The money will be in three
parcels--three parcels; in three parcels you will get money within
a 4, which, now I look again, it may be years, but still I think
not. No, it is weeks; I'm certain, at least, so it 'pears to me.
There is a lady that has a good heart for you. She is a
light-complexioned lady, with black eyes; she has a good heart
for you, and I do not see any trouble between you, which means
that there is no opposition to your match, and that you will
certainly marry her within a 2, at least so it 'pears to me.
Within a 2 you will marry this light-complexioned lady, within a
2, which is not hours, nor yet days, I think it is months. I'll
look again; no, it is not months, but years; within a 2 and years
they are, yes, 2 years; before a 2, and years they are, this lady
will be your wife--at least, so it seems to me. 'Pears to me you
will get money with her, I do not know how much, but you will
certainly get money in three parcels, as I once remarked before,
within a 4, which I'm sure is weeks. You will be married twice;
once within a 2, once again within a 5 or 7 after your first wife
dies. I think it is a 5, though it may be a 7; and months it
looks like, though it may be weeks or days. You will live with
your first wife a 10; days it can't be, though it looks like
days--a 10, you'll live with her a 10, can it be hours, no, years
it is, it must be, because you will have five children by your
first wife, which makes it years--10 years it is, I know, at least
so it 'pears to me. You will have five children by your first
wife, but you will not raise them all. All will die but two, and
then your wife will die within a 1, which is a month, or so it
seems to me."

The inquirer was charmed with the lively prospect of so many
funerals, and mentally resolved to buy a couple of acres in
Greenwood for the accommodation of his future family. His
meditations were interrupted by the lady, who thus continued:

"You will marry a second wife, but you will have trouble about
her; there is a dark-complexioned man who interferes, and who
will trouble you for an 8, which may be years, although I think
not, nor hours, nor days, but months; I'm sure it is--yes, the
dark-complexioned man will trouble you for an 8, which I am sure
is months, yes, months it is, an 8 I say, and months they are, I
am certain, at least so it 'pears to me. By
