When you are promised protection, the word is not idly used. You are protected by knowing people. First, how they feel; second, how they think, and then how they will act because they feel and act in line with how they feel.   An instance comes to mind that occurred many years ago.

An old lady who was a very dear friend had a nephew who was the apple of her eye. Depression conditions made it impossible for him to find a job. She asked my help. His handwriting warned me that he was selfish, deceitful, and untrustworthy. However, I owed that old lady a deep debt of gratitude for things she had done, not only for me, but others.

So I made a place for the young chap. He was brilliant. He had ability, but in giving him the job graphology protected me. I knew what   to   expect,   and   it   was   possible   to   anticipate   what   was   certain   to happen. He did all right for several months. Then remittances that were supposed to have reached my office were not recorded. Passing thru his office one day I saw him tear up a letter, drop it in the waste basket, and slip a bill into his pocket.
