Lord Arthur Savile ::
Oh, you mean a simple fortune teller.

No, he's not a fortune teller. He's a more skilled palmist. Every fortuneteller in London wants to meet him. He looks at my palm every week.
Lord Arthur Savile ::
Is he a foreigner?
Lady Windermere ::
No, he's English. His name is
Mr.Podgers

You were sick when you were 17. You were rich when you were 30. You didn't like cats.
Sir Thomas ::
Amazing!!! Everything was correct, it was amazing.
Lady Windermere
speak with
Lord Arthur Savile::
He read the newspaper like reading a palmistry, it was not difficult to predict the future of a famous person. If you read the newspaper.
Lord Arthur Savile ::
So you must not name what the fortune teller says. Then why do you still invite him to the party?
Lady Windermere ::
I think it's fun, he's a popular and entertaining guest.
6,7,8 people have passed.
Mr.Podgers
He looked at everyone's palms. He read everyone's palms and told them about the future. Everyone was very amazed and surprised. They laughed and talked loudly. 'Very clever!' 'Correct!' 'Very surprising!'
Mr.Podgers
is a miracle.'
Mr.Podgers
Reading the palms of the people around him, he smiled and promised to give only good fortune telling. Only the Russian ambassador didn't extend his hand to give fortune telling.
Lord Arthur Savile
All you do is look and wait.
Lady Windermere ::
Now it's your turn,
Lord Arthur.
I want to know your future
Lord Arthur Savile ::
Why?
Lady Windermere ::
Because of her fiancée'
Sybil'
Come see me tomorrow. You're getting married next month. I want to know that everything will go smoothly and well. And I'll tell you the good news.
Sybil.
Lady Windermere
Turn around and talk to
Mr.Podgers :: Mr.Podgers
This is
Lord Arthur Savile.
He is my favorite young man. And next month he is getting married. Please tell him something nice.
Mr.Podgers :: *
Smile* I will please you, ma'am.
Mr.Podgers
holding right hand of
Lord Arthur
The fortune teller's face turned pale. He didn't say anything. He bent down and looked closely at his hand.
Lord Arthur
Just a little while longer.
Lord Arthur
Feeling worried, "I'm waiting,
Mr.Podgers"
Lady Windermere ::
We're all waiting.
Mr.Podgers
Let's look at his left hand. He looked at it very closely. So close that his golden glasses touched his hand.
Lord Arthur.
His face showed that he had seen something frightening but he quickly looked up and smiled disapprovingly.
Mr.Podgers ::
It was very satisfying and charming for a young boy.
Lady Windermere ::
Ahh...and then?? *starts to get angry*
Lord Arthur Savile ::
This young man is a charming person, would make an adorable husband.
Lady Windermere ::
I know *speaks out loud*, tell me about his future. What will happen to his life.
Mr.Podgers ::
There's something to tell, he's going to have to leave...
Lady Windermere ::
Ahh, he has to leave. He's getting married next month. He and his wife will go.
Honeymoon.
You mean this? You mean
Honeymoon
His??
Mr.Podgers ::
I don't know, and there will be the death of his relative.
Lady Windermere ::
Who? Isn't his younger sister?
Mr.Podgers ::
No, not a member of his (close) family, a distant relative, perhaps a cousin.*There was a moment of silence and he didn't say anything else*
Lady Windermere
Feeling angry. This is the terrible end of a magical day.
Lady Windermere
Tell your guests :: Let's go eat. It's time for food. Now the food is ready. *She walked out of the room and everyone followed her to the dining table except
Mr.Podgers
and
Lord Arthur. Lord Arthur
look
Mr.Podgers
With anger.
Mr.Podgers
Feeling afraid.
Lord Arthur ::
Tell me what do you see? I'm not a child, I must know the truth. Tell me now. I will pay you 100 pounds.
Mr.Podgers ::
Okay, here's my business card. Could you please send me your money tomorrow at this address? Okay. I'll tell you what I saw and you probably won't like it.
10 minutes later,
Lord Arthur
Walking out of the house
Lady Windermere.
He didn't say goodbye before coming out. He felt nervous, depressed and afraid. He avoided walking around the big houses or on the modern streets. These houses were the homes of rich people. He walked across the street.
Oxford
And it is a road that is not very modern.
Soho.
This was a poor part of London. A beggar asked for money as he walked past. Two women with heavy makeup laughed at him. He saw people fighting on the dark street. Heard screams from the dark, buildings that Dirty. And the police came to stop him.
Policeman ::
It's not safe for you to walk here at night.
Lord Arthur
Thanked him and continued walking. He saw a beggar. So he gave a coin to an old beggar. This man was very poor.
Lord Arthur
Be a rich person. Fate destined the beggar to be poor? And destined him to be rich? Who writes his future fate?
Mr.Podgers
Can you really read the future?
Mr.Podgers
Read his future. So, can he escape his fate? No. He doesn't want to believe that he can change the future. But maybe he can make it happen but in a different way. go out?
Now he has arrived.
Marylebone.
He didn't know this part of London. So he walked back to the street.
Oxford
Once again, the street was lit by lamps and frogs jumped out of the river. At the corner of Rich Street he saw two men standing and reading an announcement to catch a thief on the wall. He walked over and read the announcement. He saw the words: '
MURDER'
The number starts with the message. There has been a murder at...
Soho
The announcement said that the police would give compensation to those who came forward. And the announcement also had a picture of the perpetrator. Maybe one day the police would put his picture in the announcement, he thought. It is my destiny to be a murderer.
Mr.Podger
Said that soon he would kill someone...someone.
Lord Arthur
Walking back to his house on the square
Belgrave.
He immediately went to sleep and woke up at noon the next day. He thought about his lover,
Sybil.
Her picture is placed next to the bed. They are getting married next month. He loves her very much. He is still thinking about things.
Mr.Podgers
Tell him. 'You will kill people.' And who will he kill?' he asked.
Mr.Podgers
but
Mr.Podgers
He didn't reply. Why did he believe the fortune teller? It was very strange. Right now he was afraid of what the fortune teller said. He believed that what...
Mr.Podgers
What he said was true. He would kill someone. But who would it be? Where? When? Those things kept going back and forth in his head. So he made two decisions: 1. He must marry.
Sybil 2.
He will follow his future to kill people. Maybe it's a strange decision. But he had already decided what he would do.
Mr.Podgers
You have told him that your distant relative will fail. Maybe it's a distant cousin. He doesn't have many distant relatives. He only has 2 cousins,
Lady Clementina Beauchamp.
She was an old woman living down the street.
Curzon.
He decided to kill her. Because she was old and didn't have long to live. He would kill her and he would get married. He went to the library to find a book.
Toxicology
About poison.
Anonitine
It was the fastest acting and least painful poison. He wrote down the name and went straight to the pharmacy.
He told the pharmacist that he wanted to kill the large dog because it liked to bite neighbors and other people. His doctor's name is
Sir Matthew Reid(
is a very famous doctor) who told me to use a medicine called
Anonitine.
The pharmacist said that if he didn't have a certificate he wouldn't be able to dispense medicine, so he asked:
Sir Matthew
I'm the one who told you and I
Lord Arthur
Is this still not enough? Can you help me quickly? I have to go abroad in a hurry. Finally, the pharmacist gave the medicine and instructed
Lord Arthur
that the drug must be used only on animals He promised the pharmacist so he went to bring the medicine. Half an hour later he went to buy a small box in the store to put the poison in. He opened the box and threw away the candy inside and put the poison in instead. And he went to visit.
Lady Clementina Beauchamp.
Lady Clementina Beauchamp :: Arthur!!
I'm so glad I met you,
Sybil
How are you? Is everything ready for your wedding?
Lord Arthur Savile ::Sybil
I'm fine, thank you, today you went to meet
Lady Windermere.
And I'll go meet her later.
Lady Clementina Beauchamp ::
It was very kind of her to visit me, I was old and sick. I'm sure the young people thought I was boring. Only the doctor came to visit me often.
Lord Arthur Savile ::
I know you feel bad, so I bought some medicine for you. *Hands over the box, she opens it*
Lady Clementina Beauchamp ::
It looks like candy, are you sure it's medicine? Can I just eat it?
Lord Arthur Savile ::
That's right, it's medicine. But I can't take it right now, it's a new medicine from America. It's a very good medicine. Eat it before bed, it will help you sleep better.
Lady Clementina Beauchamp ::
You're so kind, I won't forget to eat it. I'm old so I'm forgetful sometimes. But I won't forget to attend your wedding^^
He said goodbye and then he headed over.
Sybil
At her father's house. He wanted to postpone their wedding. He wanted to postpone the wedding first. But he didn't want to hurt it.
Sybil.
He asked her if he could wait. 'We will get married but not now. Can you please wait a little longer? Everything will be fine. Trust me.'
Sybil
I felt very unhappy. She didn't understand why their wedding had to be postponed? They sat and talked until dark. In the middle of the night.
Lord Arthur
Then took the train to Venice in Italy.
In Venice he met his older brother.
Lord Surbiton.
They were together for 2 weeks but he didn't enjoy it at all. He felt worried and wanted to rest. He read newspapers from England every day. But there was no news of his death.
Lady Clementina Beauchamp.
One morning there was a message from London saying,'
Lady Clementina Beauchamp
Has died And she wants him to own her house. So now he is the owner of her house.
Lady Clementina Beauchamp
It's finished. He returned to London one more time. The first thing is he went to find
Sybil,
and planned about their marriage. And now they are going to the house of
Lady Clementina .
They looked around the house.
Lady Clementina.
They open drawers and cabinets. In the drawers
Sybil
Found a small candy box.
Sybil
Calling him to look at the box in her hand that contained candy (poison), when he looked at it his expression changed color. Because the poison was still in the box, he threw the poison into the fireplace and kept the box.
Sybil
Noticing that his face looked pale, she asked if he was alright?. He is not the murderer.
Lady Clementina.
So he decided to kill someone before getting married. And their wedding was postponed again.
Lord Arthur
His wedding has been postponed for the second time.
Sybil
Feeling depressed/hopeless. Her father was very angry with him. And he felt unhappy. He was still looking for someone he had to kill. But he didn't have any more distant relatives. So he decided to kill someone close to him. ,his uncle,
The Dean of Chichester.
His uncle was an important person to the church. His uncle was very interested in watches. His uncle had collected a lot of watches. So he decided to send a watch with a bomb on it. Where can I find a bomb? He remembered that he had met a Russian named
Count Rouvaloff.
party of
Lady Windermere.
So he decided to go find
Count.
Count ::
You want to explode? I didn't know that you were also interested in politics.
Lord Arthur ::
I have a little story about me. Which is not about politics.
Count
They looked at him with surprise in their eyes. Because he thought that only people who supported anarchist ideology would use bombs.
Count
Looking with seriousness.
Count
Believe that he really needs to use it. So he wrote the address on a piece of paper.
Count ::
This is a secret address, don't tell anyone and when you're done using it you must burn it.
Lord Arthur ::
I'll burn it. Don't worry.
He checked his hand with
Count
and walked out. He went to the address he had gotten.
Soho
It was the poorest part and there were quite a lot of foreigners. He knocked on the door of an old building. The person who opened the door spoke German. So he showed me the paper.
Count
Write it down. When he walked in, he found an empty shop. He waited a short time and another man came out of the room.
Herr Winckelkopf ::
My name is
Herr Winckelkopf ,
What can I help you with?
Lord Arthur Savile ::
My name is Smith,
Count
Send me, I want to explode.
Herr Winckelkopf ::
What kind of explosion?
Lord Arthur Savile ::
Explosion in the watch
Herr Winckelkopf ::
So who do you want to send it to?
Lord Arthur :: The Dean of Chichester.
Herr Winckelkopf ::
Father in the church??Are you interested in religion?
Lord Arthur ::
No, it's personal.
Herr Winckelkopf ::
I have a beautiful watch.*Picks it up and puts it on the table and describes its properties*
Lord Arthur ::
Ahh, I understand but I'm not interested in politics. Can you do it right away?
Herr Winckelkopf ::
I have to do my friend's important work first. Yours will arrive after a few days. And when do you want it to explode??
Lord Arthur :: *
Submit your address* Friday lunchtime So how much should I pay you?
Herr Winckelkopf ::
I don't work for money, I am a supporter of anarchism. I work for freedom. Just 5 pounds is enough for me.
Finally it's Friday. Nothing happened. He continued to wait for another week. But still nothing happened. And he received a letter from his uncle *Read the picture in the accompanying book*. In the end, he didn't kill his uncle. The bomb didn't work. And he felt extremely worried. 'What should I do?' he asked himself.
Or should I leave the country? Or will I say
Sybil
So he won't marry her?'. That evening he went to eat with his brother. And they made loud noises in the restaurant. He felt bored about their conversation. He left. Restaurant at 11 p.m. and walked to the side of the river. Frogs jumped out of the river. The golden light from the lanterns shone all along the way. There were not many people on the road. He walked from
Blackfriars
go
Wesyminster.
He heard the bell chime indicating that it was midnight. He stood at the wall and looked down at the river. There were frogs everywhere. And he couldn't see the river. The light from the lanterns made the river turn black and silver. The water was flowing so hard. The river made him think horrible things. He hated it.
Mr.Podgers
Palmistry. Before knowing his fate he was happy. He knew he had to kill someone but why did the fortuneteller have to tell him? He was already happy. He didn't want to know the future. Not too far ahead he saw something moving. He walked over to take a look. He felt something strange. Is that man about to jump into the water?.
When he thought about it, he hurriedly walked in and found that it was
Mr.Podgers.
When I saw this He then came up with an idea.
Mr.Podgers
They picked him up and threw him down the wall. There was a noise and water splashed. Then there was silence. He stood and looked down, but he couldn't find him.
Mr.Podgers.'
Have you transferred anything??' There was a loud noise behind him. He turned and saw that it was a policeman holding a lantern.
Lord Arthur ::
It's not anything important, police officer *smiles* He's feeling very happy right now. And don't worry anymore.
The next day he read the newspaper.
Time
addressed to the topic of death
Mr.Podgers.
He hurriedly ran out of the house and rushed towards him.
Sybil
at
Park Lane,
When she saw him from the window, she rushed downstairs.'
Sybil
Let's get married, tomorrow!!!' 'No, not tomorrow. Let's get married today!!' he said.
Sybil'
Crazy man *laughs and cries at the same time*' Now you and him are very happy.
After the wedding, they went to see
Lady Windermere.
Lady Windermere ::
Are they happy?
Lord Arthur ::
We are very happy. And hope you are happy too.
Lady Windermere ::
I don't have time to be happy. Now I'm looking for guests to invite to my party.
Lord Arthur ::
I read the newspaper, your fortune teller.
Mr.Podgers
Dead.
Lady Windermere ::
oh
Mr.Podgers...
But now the new trend is
Telepathy(
Read people's minds). I have
Telepathist
who can read people's minds. I'm tired of
Mr.Podgers
He doesn't read the future. He never tells me anything useful. I don't believe him.
Lord Arthur ::
But I believe him. Everything he said is true. He makes me very happy.
Lady Windermere ::
How could he make her happy? *She was very surprised*
Lord Arthur ::
He made me marry my wife. *turns to meet his wife's eyes*
Lady Windermere :: What nonsense!!!
I've never heard anything about it.

This size has come before!!!
