London, West End. 1893.
"An old butler invites you to enter the home
of the most famous Cartomant of London,
Lady Victoria Westwood.
You are led into an elegant hall
embellished with rich carpets and luxurious curtains.
Paintings with rural countrysides ornate the walls of the room.
A large white cat lies lazily on a pastel pink Chippendale armchair.
You note the light fragrance of incense.
You are not alone: other people wait, like you,
to finally meet the celebrated clairvoyant.
Lady Victoria is an old woman with white hair
and very light-colored eyes.
Her gaze is limpid and serene.
Her voice is simultaneously gentle and deep.
In spite of the fact that you have never met her before,
you have the impression that you have always known her..."
