Description
Happy, then, it seems to have been, that the illustrious personage above referred to only sneezed once. Perhaps the attendants did not observe which way the royal sneeze was directed, or their dubitations would have been shortlived; for, as Eustathius hath observed, “a sneeze to the left is unlucky, but betoketh prosperity if the head of the sternutator be turned to the right.”
From: AINSWORTH'S MAGAZINE: A MISCELLANY OF ROMANCE, General Literature & Art, Vol. I. Published 1842.
It goes without saying that in these corona days it is imperative to sternutate as sparsely as is feasible among company.
