Lesson60 The future
At a village fair,I decided to visit a fortune-teller called Madam Bellinsky. I went into hertent and she told me to sit down. After I had given her some money, she lookedinto a crystal ball and said: 'A relation of yours is coming to see you. Shewill be arriving this evening and intends to stay for a few days. The momentyou leave this tent, you will get a big surprise. A woman you know well willrush towards you. She will speak to you and then she will lead you away fromthis place. That is all.' As soon as I went outside, I forgot all about MadamBellinsky because my wife hurried towards me. 'Where have you been hiding ?'she asked impatiently. 'Your sister will be here in less than an hour and wemust be at the station to meet her. We are late already.' As she walked away, Ifollowed her out of the fair.
