In a modern reading
Something or someone is on the way: news, a message, a visitor or a fresh start. The Rider brings things in quickly; the cards beside it say what kind of news it carries. [13][14][11]
Text on the 19th-century card
Printed on a French Petit Lenormand (Geûens-Sea, Bruges, c. 1895–1901), Bibliothèque nationale de France [1]
Indique bonnes nouvelles mais un peu éloigné, elles peuvent avoir rapport au domicile de la personne, ou venir de pays étrangers. Cette carte est un messager de bonne fortune, si elle n'est point entourée de cartes sinistres.
Indicates good news, though somewhat distant; it may concern the person's home or come from foreign lands. This card is a messenger of good fortune, provided it is not surrounded by ominous cards.
As a house in the Grand Tableau
