_Three_.
As Master-Card, a sad or serious Duty or Care. As influenced by
its like suit, a Choice of two things; both desired much, but one to
be dismissed. By a Diamond, Luck, or a forthcoming Pleasure. By
a handsome Man or Woman to be met and attracted toward one.
By a Spade, a Matter to make one angry, or heart-sick.
_Two_.
A card of doubtful omen when a Master, figuring a grave
Confidence, of interest to learn, but burdensome rather than easily
to be passed by. By its like suit, some News. By a Heart, a
Sentiment not wise though keen. By a Diamond, an awkward
Meeting. By a Spade, a Piece of News acted on, and then found
untruly reported: or Advice seemingly good, but not so.
OF SPADES
(_The Suit of Evil Omen and of Unwelcome Influences_.)
_The Ace_.
As Master-Card, the Ace figures a special Misfortune, Unhappiness,
or Hurt to one's life, by no means avoidable, and perhaps not
discernible at once. Influenced by the King of its like suit,
sudden: by the Queen, long continuing ere complete; by the Knave,
Fortune through Persons; by the ten, through concurrence of sundry
events. By any other spade, sudden. By a Heart, Ill-Fortune in
the Affection. By the Diamond, in the eye of Others, in society,
money or art. By a Club, to our fear.
_The King_.
As Master-Card is figured a particular Man, our enemy, resolute
and powerful.
