“Nobody’s telling you your fortune! What does it mean
Laurie?” Rita’s mama has never really trusted Manya, now
shortly her suspicions will be confirmed.
“By itself it doesn’t mean anything. It has to be looked at
together with other cards,” Laura doesn’t hide her great
knowledge. “The six of spades!” Laura drags out lengthily
what she has to say because she senses that her knowledge
is slowly coming to an end.
“What does that mean?”
“The queen of hearts. That’s you, and it means that there
will be a great misfortune.”
“What else now?” Rita’s mama moans, she’s totally crushed.
Laura remembers little Ivars, and she suddenly feels a bit
sorry for Rita’s mama.
‘But you can avoid it,” Laura gives her hope.
“How?”
“From this moment on, keep all your thoughts to yourself,
don’t tell anyone anything, because close to you there’s a
terribly envious person,” Laura warns her.
