Puppets at Large

MISS OPHELIA PALMER (in the "Wizard's Cave"-to MR. CADNEY ROWSER). Yes, your hand indicates an intensely refined and spiritual nature; you are perhaps a little too indifferent to your personal comfort where that of others is concerned; sensitive-too much so for your own happiness, perhaps-you feel things keenly when you do feel them. You have lofty ambitions and the artistic temperament-seven-and-sixpence, please. MR. C. R. (impressed). Well, Miss, if you can read all that for seven-and-six on the palm of my 'and, I wonder what you wouldn't see for 'alf a quid on the sole o' my boot!
