As he deals Bute looks for familiar patterns. The first card is Judgement followed by the knight of swords, then 6 of coins, The Sun and then 7 of coins. This seems to be quite a happy story, a person born a blazing angel, a seraphim, faces challenges and by his truth and energy is rewarded. He gains money and travels to a gilded city and through these endeavours is further rewarded. Once more the person travels, this time to a watery place, The Moon, perhaps Cardiff Docks, and then further afield, perhaps to Paris, ace of cups. In this city he meets a well read woman (by now Bute is sure he is reading the cards of a man, though he couldn't say why). Our hero changes direction, three of staves, perhaps finds his true direction and finds his muse. He meets great men, the king of cups, perhaps he becomes a king of his craft, king of staves. Here the king seems to hold a giant pencil, the earlier staves might have been chisels. Bute thinks this man has become a sculptor, perhaps the king of cups is another great sculptor or artist for here the page of cups is carrying an as yet unrevealed sculpture. Then he lays down the 4 of staves, this puzzles Bute, is this an increase in his output? However, it is followed by Death and The Tower. Once more Bute sees this terrible omen and seemingly another young man is claimed by the war to come.
