Death Of A Husband In A State Of Insanity. Guilty Affair In Thought Only

A good Line of Life and a good Line of Head; a fair Line of Heart; a Line of Influence starting from a star on the Mount of Venus and ending in a star on the Line of Head between the Lines of Fate and the Sun: a. Line of Fate starting quite low islanded at 20, broken at 28. resumed at 40. ending on the Mount in good shape: a Line of the Sun beginning in the Quadrangle at 38. ending on the Mount in good shape.

"The two stars indicate the death of the husband of the subject in a state of insanity. The widow had in her hand at the time the island on the Line of Fate, which is sop-posed to be the mark of a guilty intrigue-However, it was proved that she had never committed any guilty action, but at the same time she acknowledged to Desbarrolles that she had been deeply enamored with the famous actor Bressant, who was one of her husband's clients, but that never by word or deed had she ever allowed him to know anything of her infatuation. Desbarrolles insists upon this fact, which is confirmed by means of several other instances, that the nervous influence marks in the hands such guilty affections long before they have begun to manifest themselves by any beginning of action."

An island on the Line- - Guilty intrigue lasting just the time the island occupies on the Line. It is even marked on the hands of a person in love with another who is married but knows nothing of this unlawful passion.

This is Desbarrolles' invariable reading, a great many illustrations of which are scattered through this work. I will admit, however - with many excellent British palmists - that this island on the Line of Fate is to be interpreted as heavy loss of money or position whenever the tout-ensemble of both hands and the general type of the subject protest against the very idea of his committing arty breach of the seventh commandment.

Presentiments

"A lady had felt an extraordinary, uti-explainable antipathy for a man introduced to her by her husband- The tatter had insisted that she should welcome his friend. and the latter had gradually obtained a sort of mesmeric influence over the woman, finally culminating in a guilty intrigue between them. This was bound to end fatally, and in fact she was deadly afraid of her lover, but dared not leave him; he had once attempted to poison her out of sheer jealousy. A strange example of the clearness and correctness of certain presentiments."

The Financial Ruin of Her Parents Causes a 17-Yeax-Old Young Girl to Lose Her Fiance. - A star at 17 on an otherwise fine Line of Fate. A Line of Influence starting from the Mount of Venus and reaching a straight Line of Union quite low-down in the space between the Line of Heart and the third phalanx of the fourth finger.

"A lady of rank and wealth had been given up by a fiance she was much devoted to, because, when she was 17, her parents had lost their whole fortune."

Two Lines of Influence from the Mount of Venus cut the Line of Life at five years' distance, uniting in a star on Line of Fate which terminates right there.

"The discovery by a desirable and wealthy lover of the existence of another accepted admirer of his sweetheart brings about a break, which ruins the prospects of the lady whose hand contained the above markings."

An island at the starting point of the Line - A mystery connected with the subject's birth. If the Line is very poor, this is a proof of illegitimacy.

Death of a Relative Breaking the Subject's Career. Love of Medicine. Separation from a Loved One. - A Line of Fate beginning late, broken inside the Quradrankle, then returned to the Mount of Saturn.

Finally he is returned to favor with his chiefs and is rapidly promoted."

Two islands forming the figure 8 at the starting point of the Line - Gift of second sight, or at least somnambulism.

An island on the Line with a star on the Mount of Jupiter - Guilty love affair with one in a much higher position than the subject's.

It is cut. at the dot, by a Line of Influence starting from a star on the Mount of Venus and ending in a star at the connection of the Line of Head and the Line of the Sun.
