To see or think yourself a rogue, foretells you are about to commit some indiscretion which will give your friends uneasiness of mind. You are likely to suffer from a passing malady. For a woman to think her husband or lover is a rogue, foretells she will be painfully distressed over neglect shown her by a friend.
