In Chapter 5, Part II in dealing with the line of life I wrote: 'When there is a medium space between the line of life and that of head, the subject is more free to carry out his or her plans and ideas; it also denotes energy and a very go-ahead spirit'.. In speaking of the line of head in Chapter 7, Part II, I said: "When a space is found between the line of head and that of life, it is beneficial when not too wide; when medium it denotes splendid energy and self-confidence and is a useful sign for barristers, actors, preachers, etc."
Dame Melba had all those qualities that suited her for a life before the public. Both the fate and Sun-lines on her hand are sharply marked, especially the line of Sun culminating, as it does, in the form of a triangle at the base of the Mount of that name.
In estimating the ultimate success of a person's life, it is always wise to notice if these lines of fate and Sun appear equal to one another.
The 'double life-line' that may be noticed about the middle of the hand gave Dame Melba enormous vitality and by running outward into a line of travel toward Luna, promised the almost continual run of long voyages from one side of the world to the other which was so much a part of this remarkable woman's career.
Dame Melba consulted me in New York when she wrote in my Visitor's Book:
"Cheiro" you are wonderful- what more can I say?
