a:

Yes, in most cases, but it depends to a great extent as to whether the children would be welcome or not and whether the event would make any very great im­pression upon the subject, as to how successful the prediction would be; for in Palmistry we count time and events by Heart throbs or by the depth of impression made in wardly, rather than by any outward manifestation.
