- (continued from previous page)If you meet a funeral you should walk three steps with it and if you do not you will have ill-luck.
- If you find a hairpin keep it and you will get money.
If you see a black cat you will be lucky.
If you put on your stockings in-side-out you will be lucky.
Whoever a cat looks at after washing his face will die soon.
If you pick bluebells on May Eve you will have bad luck during May.
If you find a half-penny keep it and you will be lucky.- Collector
