Another pleasant superstition is that crows can bring you good luck. If you see one flying, your wish will come true as long as the crow does not flap its wings before going out of sight. If it should, the wish might still be granted if your cover your eyes. If the bird is no where in sight when you uncover them, you'll get your wish. One curious feature of the behaviour of crows is their seeming capacity to hold 'courts' at which, by numerous accounts, they pass judgement and carry out summary execution of such of their numbers as, for some mysterious reason, they consider deserving of it.
Crows continue to arrive from all quarters during the session.
