Excerpt from The Fortune Teller Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis
Hamlet observes to Horatio that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy. This was the
seltsame explanation that was given by beautiful Rita to her lover, Camillo, on a certain Friday of November, 1869, when
Camillo laughed at her for having gone, the previous evening, to consult a fortune teller. The only difference is that she made
her explanation in other words.
"Laugh, laugh. That's just like you men; you don't believe in anything. Well, let me tell you, I went there and she guessed the
reason for my coming before I ever spoke a word. Scarcely had she begun to lay out the cards when she said to me: The lady
Likes a certain person I confessed that it was so, and then she continued to rearrange the cards in various combinations,
finally telling me that I was afraid you would forget me, but that there were no grounds for my fear."
