INTERPRETATION
FIG. 7
The two horse-shoes indicate a lucky journey to some large residence
in a north-easterly direction, the tree surmounting which denotes that
happiness and fortune will be found there and that (as it is surrounded
by dots) it is situated in the country. The sitting hen in the bottom
of the cup, surmounted by a triangle (to see which properly the
illustration must be turned round) is indicative of increased wealth by
an unexpected legacy. A letter from someone whose name begins with
'T' will contain a remittance of money, but it may not arrive for some
little time.

INTERPRETATION
FIG.8
This tea-cup appears to give warning by the flag in conjunction with
a rifle and the letter 'V' that some friend of the consultant will be
wounded in battle, and as there is a coffin in the bottom of the cup
that the wounds will be fatal. On the other side, however, a sceptre,
surrounded by signs of honours, seems to indicate that 'V' will be
recognized by his sovereign and a decoration bestowed upon him
for bravery in battle, shown by the initial 'K' accompanied by a
letter-sign, and by the astrological sign of Mars, intervening between
these and the sceptre.

INTERPRETATION
FIG. 9
If the consultant be single this cup will, by means of the hare on the
side, tell him that he will speedily be married. The figure of a lady
holding out an ivy-leaf is a sign that his sweetheart will prove true
and constant, and the heart in conjunction with a ring and the initial
'A' still further points to marriage with a person whose name begins
with that letter. The flower, triangle, and butterfly are all signs of
prosperity, pleasure and happiness.
