Hold them is a good sign, particularly for youth, inasmuch as love affairs and all undertakings will eventuate in accordance with desires; it will obtain victories over enemies and secure the esteem and benevolence of everybody. To see them in the hands of another, signifies the discovery of an evil contemplated .against you, and its punishments, despite deceit to avoid it. Should they be extinct, the sign is the reverse.
