  • “I have been waiting for a sign. I knew that if I waited here long enough my bird, that tarishawk that rests here each day, I knew that he would come. Our Mother said that if he flew from the right, then I would have good fortune. If he came from the left, my journey would be disastrous for me, and it would bear no positive fruits for you.” “And the hawk? Which way did it come? Did it come from the left?” Dore smiled once more; his smile was always the most cheerless aspect of him. “The hawk has not come at all,” he said.

  • “Did you sleep well last night?” asked Glorian. “Yes, I suppose,” said Dore, “although I was trouble by a strange dream.” “Oh? Perhaps it was some sort of omen. Tell me of it.” “Certainly,” said Dore. “I dreamed of a domino.” “Just one?” “Yes, just the one. All night. No people or sounds in the dream, just the domino. The five-three.” “Wonderful!” cried Glorian. “The five-three is a lucky little devil. It presages victory after hardships. It confirms your inner ambition, but counsels you to avoid extremes, to temper pleasure with practicality. Advances in music, art, and drama are indicated. Rely on good manners and good taste. The five-three is a domino of hope and good news.” “Are you making that up?” said Dore suspiciously.
