The Evil Eye; Or, The Black Spector

CHAPTER XI
5/24

He is complete master of the fairies, and has the whole generation of them under his thumb; and he generally travels with the king of the fairies in his left pocket closed up in a snuffbox.

He interprets dreams and visions, and is never mistaken; can foretell whether a child unborn will be a boy or a girl, and can also inform the parents whether it will be brought to the bench or the gallows.

He can also foretell backwards, and disclose to the individual anything that shall happen to him or her for the last seven years.

His philters, concocted upon the profound science of alchemistic philosophy, have been sought for by persons of the highest distinction, who have always found them to produce the very effects for which they were intended, to wit, mutual affection between the parties, uniformly ending in matrimony and happiness.

Devils expelled, ghosts and spirits laid on the shortest notice, and at the most moderate terms.
