Marsha Norman, The Fortune Teller, 1987
“There are seventy-eight cards in a Tarot deck. Four suits of fourteen cards each, Swords, Cups, Coins, and Wands, and twenty-two picture cards called the major arcana, the big mysteries. Fay’s mother told her she could learn these picture cards by associating them with people she knew, but it had taken nearly forty years to meet them all.”
