| The third excerpt represents the element of Water. It speaks of pure spiritual influences and feelings of love, and is drawn from Peter Pan by James M. Barrie: "Yes," said cunning Peter, "but we are rather lonely. You see
we have no female companionship."
"Are none of the others girls?"
"Oh, no; girls, you know, are much too clever to fall out of
their prams."
This flattered Wendy immensely. "I think," she said, "it is
perfectly lovely the way you talk about girls; John there just
despises us."
For reply Peter rose and kicked John out of bed, blankets and
all; one kick. This seemed to Wendy rather forward for a first
meeting, and she told him with spirit that he was not captain in

The fourth excerpt represents the element of Earth. It speaks of physical influences and the impact of the unseen on the visible world, and is drawn from The Mad King by Edgar Rice Burroughs: Surely Butzow would penetrate his disguise. He returned
his friend's salute, looked him full in the eyes, and asked
where he was riding.
"To Blentz, your majesty," replied Butzow, "to demand
an audience. I bear important word from Prince von der
Tann. He has learned the Austrians are moving an entire
army corps into Lutha, together with siege howitzers. Serbia
has demanded that all Austrian troops be withdrawn from
Luthanian territory at once, and has offered to assist your
majesty in maintaining your neutrality by force, if neces-
sary."
