      4.7.3

اذا جعلت شيا فى فمها تلوكه وهى ماشية توهم من يعجبها من الفتيان انها تشير بقبلة او اذا غمزت احدا ورمزت ولمزت * اذا ابصر من تلوك شيا وهى ماشية وحسب ذلك اشارة اليه بقبلة ثم غدت تغمز وترمز وتلمز وتابز وتنفز وتنقز *
اذا صادفت رجلا من معارفها فى الطريق فطفقت تعاتبه على طول غيابه عنها ثم امسكت بيده وغمزته١ غمزا شديدا * اذا راى امراة تعاتب رجلا على طول غيابه عنها ثم اخذت يده وغمزته٢ غمزا شديدا حتى احمر الغامز واصفر المغموز او بالعكس *
اذا لقيت امراة فى الطريق عليها ديباج نفيس فجعلت تسالها عن سعره وعمن يبيعه * اذا لقى امراتين تمس احداهما الاخرى وتلك الملموسة تشير بيدها اللطيفة الى مكان *
اذا صادفت احدا فى الطريق فاشارت اليه انِ اتبعنا فاخذ يمشى عن يمينها فحولت وجهها عن زوجها وجعلت جلّ الكلام مع الزبون * اذا وجد رجلا بين امراتين او امراة بين رجلين ففى الحالة الاولى طلبا للمرازمة وفى الثانية ثقة بالكفاية لان طعام اثنين يشبع ثلثة *
اذا رجعا الى البيت وصرّحت له او عرّضت بشرآ الديباج ولم يكن عنده دراهم تكفى * اذا رجع الى البيت وراى ان عنده مالًا وليس من تلبس الديباج وتجلس الى جانبه *

اذا بات تلك الليلة وهو تعب موجع الراس حتى اذا اغفى قليلا احسّ بحركة منها فى جنبه فقضى دينه متكارها * اذا بات تلك الليلة وهو مستريح ناشط ثم احسّ بحركة منه فمد يده فجات على الحائط او على مسمار او وتد فدميت *
اذا سكن منزلا وكان جاره الادنى منه فتى جميلا فجعل يتردد عليه بعلة الجاريّة * اذا سكن منزلا وكانت جارته فتاة جميلة ولم يمكن له ان يمت اليها بوسيلة الجاريّة *
اذا مرض ولزم فراشه وهو يشكو ويئن فلزمت هى الشباك وهى تمكو وتحنّ * اذا راى جاره مريضا فى الفراش يشكو ويئن وزوجته بجنبه تحنّ وتهنّ *
اذا جآ وقت الصيف ففتر وفدر وجفر وحَصِر واسترخت عروقه فاثر ان يبيت وحده * اذا جآ وقت الشتآ فاشتدّ واستد وامتد واحتد ونبضت عروقه فاثر ان يبيت مع من تنفخ فى وجهه *
