One of the very first foreshadowing moments happens on page 12 when Cayce is in London and goes to critique the first logo with Stonestreet and Dorothea. Stonestreet offers Dorotea a cigarette before the meeting begins, but she declines. Cayce ends up rejecting the logo, moments later Dorotea takes up Stonestreet’s offer.
