_Four Aces._—When these fall together they imply danger, financial
loss, separation from friends, love troubles. The evil is mitigated in
proportion to the number of them that are reversed.
_Three Aces._—Passing troubles relieved by good news, faithlessness of
a lover. If reversed, they mean foolish excess.
_Two Aces._—These mean union: if Hearts and Clubs, it will be for
good; if Diamonds and Spades, for evil, probably the outcome of
jealousy. If reversed, the object of the union will fail.
_Four Kings._—Honors, preferment, good appointments. If reversed, the
good things will be of less value, but will arrive earlier.
_Three Kings._—Serious matters will be taken in hand with the best
result, unless any of the three cards be reversed, when it will be
doubtful.
_Two Kings._—Co-operation in business, upright conduct, and prudent
enterprises to be crowned with success. Each one reversed represents an
obstacle. Both reversed spell failure.
_Four Queens._—A social gathering which may be spoilt by one or more
being reversed.
_Three Queens._—Friendly visits. If reversed, scandal, gossip and
possibly bodily danger.
_Two Queens._—Interchanged, secrets betrayed, a meeting between
friends. When both are reversed, there will be suffering for the
inquirer resulting from his own acts. Only one reversed, means rivalry.
_Four Knaves._—Jolly conviviality. Any of them reversed lessens the
evil.
_Three Knaves._—Worries and vexations from acquaintances, slander
calling the inquirer’s honor in question. If reversed, it foretells a
passage-at-arms with a social inferior.
_Two Knaves._—Loss of goods. If both are reversed, the trouble is
imminent; if one only, it is near.
