Thanks! I've never heard of mobile read. I will have to investigate at some point.
I had to look up Cheiro, aka Count Leigh de Hamong, aka Count Louis Hamon. A classic 1890s fin-de-siecle character, ne William John Warner. His dates are 1866-1936.
I have to doubt the factuality of this notice in a biography on an online site:
As mentioned in his memoirs, Cheiro acquired his expertise in India. As a teenager, he travelled to the Bombay port of Apollo Bunder. There, he met his guru, an Indian Chitpavan Brahmin, who took him to his village in the valley of the Konkan region of Maharashtra. Later Cheiro was permitted by Brahmans to study an ancient book that has many studies on hands. After studying thoroughly for two years, he returned to London and started his career as a palmist.
I must have read the story but have no recollection of it.
Hel.
