I really must have my fortune told. The dear things know all about the future. As Mrs. Belgrove spoke she peered through her lorgnette to see if anyone at the breakfast-table was smiling. The scrutiny was necessary, since she was the oldest person present, and there did not appear to be any future for her, save that very certain one connected with a funeral. But a society lady of sixty, made up to look like one of forty (her maid could do no more), with an excellent digestion and a constant desire, like the Athenians of old, for Something New! can scarcely be expected to dwell upon such a disagreeable subject as death. Nevertheless, Mrs. Belgrove could not disguise from herself that her demise could not be postponed for many more years, and examined the faces of the other guests to see if they thought so too. If anyone did, he and she politely suppressed a doubtful look and applauded the suggestion of a fortune-telling expedition. Let us make up a party and go, said the hostess, only too thankful to find something to amuse the house-party for a few hours. Where did you say the gypsies were, Garvington? In the Abbot's Wood, replied her husband, a fat, small round-faced man, who was methodically devouring a large breakfast.
