They
weren’t really laughing at Reginald; they were making fun of themselves.
Dante’s straight forward answer could put an end any conversation, “What use would

bit, trying to backtrack on what had practically come across like an
accusation.
Dante’s’
courteous nature saved the situation. The short tour around the grounds
concluded with an invitation to a free Tarot or Palm reading. The Séance couldn’t
be free. The spirits that bridged the realms, making contact with the spirit
world possible, required a tip for their help. While Dante was all openness the
other gypsies kept very much to themselves. The wrinkled skin, aged women who
actually did the readings stepped back into the privacy of their cloth
enclosures, a very uninviting gesture.
“Maybe a
Keeper should take a look around their camp tonight?” suggested Reginald. Oscar
agreed to do the job.
