Whether true or not, he had the name, and that is about half of what one needs in this gullible age.

I found Uncle Frank seated in the chimney corner, about ten o'clock at night.

As soon as I entered, the old man left his seat.

I watched his movement as well as I could by the dim light of the fire.

He soon lit a lamp, and coming up, looked me full in the face, saying, "Well, my son, you have come to get uncle to tell your fortune, have you ?" "Yes," said I.But how the old man should know what I had come for, I could not tell.
