considered a thing of ill omen and even a presage of death and that this terrible state of things lasted until the coming of Jacob when that astute anxious lest he should himpatriarch self perish from

sneezed during any of the hours between midnight and the following noon or while the moon happened to be in the signs of Virgo Aquarius Cancer or Scorpl— above all unhappily you were just getting out of bed or rising from the table — then you were to consider yourself in a parlous state indeed The Greeks and Romans entertained the superstition that to hear anyone on their right hand sneeze was of and good presage to all concerned the Greeks used to say of a beautiful woman that Cupid and his loves bad sneezed at her birth "Barbara may I ask whether you like my own Jerry have been protect' lng
