  1. (continued from previous page)
    it is love, but if your right eye is itchy it is spite.
    When your nose is itchy you will fight with someone.
    When a coal falls from the fire it is a sign of a visitor, and a straw to a hen's foot is a sure sign of a visitor. If a cock is heard answering another cock it is a sign of a death, or if a cock comes in and crows three times on the kitchen floor, a death will soon occur.
