_Ace of Hearts_ signifies feasting and pleasure; if the ace is attended by
spades it foretells quarrelling; if by hearts, it shows affection and
friendship; if by diamonds, you will hear of some absent friend; if by
clubs, merry-making.
_King of Hearts_ shows a man of good natured dissipation, but hot and
hasty, rash in his undertakings, and very amorous.

affectionate.
_Knave of Hearts_ is a person of no particular sex, but always the dearest
friend or nearest relation of the consulting party. You must pay great

you can judge whether the person it represents will favor your
inclinations or not.
_Ten of Hearts_ shows good nature and many children; it is a corrective of
bad tidings of the cards that stand next to it; its neighboring cards are
of good report and it ascertains and confirms their value.

to retrieve your losses whether of peace or of goods.

the dupe; if after, you will have the better.
_Five of Hearts_ shows a wavering and unsteady disposition, never true to
one object, but free from every violent attachment.
