The way to tell peoples fortunes is
to have one list of characteristics,
and use it for every one without the
slightest variation. 1t is bound to
succeed. For instance, suppose Fal-
staff and Hamlet had their fortunes
told by the same sothsayer. l imag-
Inc he would have told Hamlet's char
acter as follows:
You are not as fortunate as you
seem. You have a great deal of sense,
but more sense than knowledge You
can give admirable advice. to other
people. Your judgment is excellent
as regards others, but bad az regards
yourself You never value your own
good advice. You are fond of your
friends. You prefer to talk 10 action.
You suffer from indecision. You are
fond of the stage. You are suscepti-
Bile to female beauty. You are witty,
amiabie and well educated, but you
like coarse Jokes. You are supersti-
tious and believe in ghosts. You can
make yeople laugh. You often pre-
tend to be more foolish than you are.
At other times you will surprise peo-
pie by your power of apt repartee.
Your bane will be your inclination to
fat. which win hamper you in fight
ing. You are unsuccessful as a sol
der, but unrivaled as a companion
and philosopher. You will mix in high
society, have friends at court. You
will come off badly in personal en-
counter and your final enemy will be
a king"
Now imagine him saying exactly the
same thing to Falstaff. Doesn't 1t ut
