- To have a glove fall is the sign of a disappointment.
To have a knife fall is the sign of a gentleman to the house.
The falling of a fork is the sign of a stranger coming to the house, and that of a spoon is the sign of a fool.
To see a star falling is the sign that there is a soul going to heaven.
The Wind from the South, the rain is in the harbour's mouth.
The Wind from the East is not good for man or beast.
The Wind from the West is not the very best.
