Later on in the day, Douglas and Tom return to where the Tarot Witch is lying, and retrieve her. They tell their father, who is surprisingly supportive, perhaps sensing the same sense of adventure from his own years, and offers to smooth things over with Mr. Black by buying the Tarot Witch machine from him. Douglas says to Tom that the Witch is really alive, and that someday he will be able to free her from the wax with magic spells so that the Witch will become just another figurine. As he mentions their fortunes, another blank card falls from her sleeve. Douglas exclaims that it must be written with her thanks and a prediction that they will "live forever." Tom says to Douglas that "when a beautiful Italian girl appears in town and buys a train ticket out East", then he could cut open the Tarot Witch to see if his story was indeed true.
