SOURCE ACCOUNT

Felix Fontaine

The Golden Wheel Dream-book and Fortune-teller · 1862

Pawnbroker · Heading 556; source line 3638 · Text transcription

Original source (English)

If you dream of pawning any of your goods at a pawnbroker’s, provided you have never patronized such a place, it foretells that fortune is about to smile on you, and if you take advantage of the circumstance, you will surely get rich. To lazy and shiftless people, such a dream would not be of much account.
