Archer very often takes his characters from the upper classes of the UK or New England, discussing mannerisms and sensitivities from that layer of society. The majority of his works are set in the USA, though his characters tend to use British grammar. He takes considerable poetic liberty when intertwining the lives of two parallel heroes (Kane and Abel, Sons of Fortune), or the hero and villain (As the Crow Flies, First Among Equals). These works have an epic character and span a number of decades, often w ...

Decameron is structured in a frame narrative, or frame tale. Boccaccio begins with a description of the Bubonic Plague (specifically the epidemic which hit Florence in 1348, see Black Death) and leads into an introduction of a group of seven young women and three young men who flee from plague-ridden Florence to a villa in the (then) countryside of Fiesole for two weeks. To pass the time, each member of the party tells one story for each one of the nights spent at the villa. Although 14 days pass, two days each week are set aside. One to do chores and another holy day where no activity must take place. In this manner, 100 ...

Roman curses, true to the orderly Roman mind, were somewhat more formal and official. They were called tabulae defixionis. They were written on lead or other materials and then were posted in some place considered effective, such as in a tomb, or tossed into a sacred spring. In the text you uttered a prayer or formula that your enemy suffer injury in some specific way, along with the reason thereof. Perhaps someone stole a possession or harmed you or yours. The Romans, Etruscans and Greeks in Italy all practiced this custom. Fortunately for us, they hid the curses so well that today we have a body of c ...

Casting of lots occurs frequently in the Bible. One notable example of casting lots is represented by the soldiers who cast lots for Jesus' clothes -John 19:24- as he was dying on the cross. In this case, the casting of lots was implicitly looked down upon by the biblical authors, however, elsewhere in the Bible it was invoked as a legitimate means of determining God's wishes. For example, it was through the casting of lots that it was determined by Jonah's crew that he was, in fact, the source of the storm they were enduring. He was subsequentl ...

Rei inexplicably attracts a large amount of angst, dark, and fetish fan fiction (perhaps due to the failed romances in the anime and her confident, aggressive personality). Her lack of interest in and sometimes open dislike of men also puts her in a relatively disproportionate amount of yuri fan fiction. In such stories she is most often paired with Usagi Tsukino and Minako Aino. Rei also attracts a balance of both male and female fans, especially in Japan, since she represents the typical Japanese beauty. There is also a lot of fanfi ...

The game is sometimes enhanced by labelling one, two or three of the yut stick on their flat side. The Seoul rule can be played if one of the sticks is labelled Seoul (서울). If this stick is the only one facing down (do so that the letters Seoul can be read), a mal can be placed directly into the centre (bang) which in this case is called Seoul. Are all the mals already on the course, this counts as a do. The Busan rule is similar. One of the yut sticks is labelled Busan (부ì ...

Fortune-telling

• To dream of telling, or having your fortune told, it dicates that you are deliberating over some vexed affair, and you should use much caution in giving consent to its consummation. For a young woman, this portends a choice between two rivals. She will be worried to find out the standing of one in business and social circles. To dream that she is engaged to a fortune-teller, denotes that she has gone through the forest and picked the proverbial stick. She should be self-reliant, or poverty will attend her marriage.

Gypsy

• If you dream of visiting a gypsy camp, you will have an offer of importance and will investigate the standing of the parties to your disadvantage.
• For a woman to have a gypsy tell her fortune, is an omen of a speedy and unwise marriage. If she is already married, she will be unduly jealous of her husband.
• For a man to hold any conversation with a gypsy, he will be likely to lose valuable property.
• To dream of trading with a gypsy, you will lose money in speculation. This dream denotes that material pleasures are the biggest items in your life.

Lying:

1. If the dreamer is the one telling the lie, then he or she needs to beware of setbacks generated by his or her own foolish actions. Caution in all departments of life is definitely called for.

2. If someone else told the lie, however, it is a dream of contrary: success and good fortune lie ahead.

3. Dreaming of lying to authority figures, or in court, indicates that honesty is definitely going to be the best policy for some time: Do NOT lie to anyone!

4. If someone else lies to authority figures, however, it is a sign that you will benefit from someone else's mistakes - and soon.
