Dialogue

 * Mrs. Lang: No, I couldn't get it Swami.
 * Swami Yomurda: He would not give it to you.
 * Mrs. Lang: Not only that, he was cruel in his refusal, abusive.
 * Swami Yomurda: The present is filled with evil foreboding Mrs. Lang.
 * Mrs. Lang: What do you see Swami?
 * Swami Yomurda: I see great trouble, disaster, I see the cause of your present unhappiness. I see great crowds, confusion and excitement, I see a tall dark man, who will have great influence in your life.
 * Mrs. Lang: Can you tell me who this man is Swami?
 * Swami Yomurda: The magic ball is still, the face is shadowy, the name eludes me. Prehaps it will come to me presently. I see tragic events that will alter your entire future. I see sorrow, despair, and again I see vaguely this tall dark man, he's about to speak. Ah, he fades from view, another man, I see the cause of your present unhappiness removed.
