The first question in the fortune tellers book under "Travel and
Letters" is, "Where did my husband elope to?" The identity of the
other woman in the case seems to be secondary in importance to the
whereabouts of the deserter.
Under "Love and Marriage" are these questions, among many others:
"Is my bride's dowry as big as she says it is?"
"I have married two wives; what will happen?"
"Shall I be married in court?"
Those who are in doubt about work have many questions to select from,
the list starting off like this:
"Shall I be a letter carrier?"
"Shall I be a conductor?"
"Shall I be a street cleaner?"
"Shall I be an actor?"
"Shall I be a lady-figure?"
A lady-figure is undoubtedly a cloak model.
Under "Business" some of the questions are:
"Shall I remain a peddler or keep a store?"
"Shall I sue my partner?"
"Will my partner sue me?"
"Shall I take my wife into the store as a partner?"
"Shall I take my husband into the store as a partner?"
"Shall I buy the goods?"
"Will the bank fail?"
Under "Luck and Losses" are:
"Was I robbed by friends or strangers?"
"Does anybody look in my pockets nights?"
"Will the landlord put me out?"
