60 - The future

Lesson 60 The future At a village fair, I decided to visit a fortune-teller called Madam Bellinsky. I went into her tent and she told me to sit down. After I had given her some money, she looked into a crystal ball and said: &`&A relation of yours is coming to see you. She will be arriving this evening and intends to stay for a few days. The moment you leave this tent, you will get a big surprise. A woman you know well willrush towards you. She will speak to you and then she will lead you away from this place. That is all.&`& 　　As soon as I went outside, I forgot all about Madam Bellinsky because my wife hurried towards me. &`&Where have you been hiding?&`& she asked impatiently. &`&Your sister will be here in less than an hour and we must be at the station to meet her. We are late already.&`& As she walked away, I followed her out of the fair.
