HISTORY OF THE FAN
| Carrying in right hand in front of face |
Follow me |
| Carry in left hand |
Desirous of an acquaintance |
| Placing it on left ear |
You have changed |
| Twirling in left hand |
I wish to get rid of you |
| Drawing across forehead |
We are watched |
| Carrying in right hand |
You are too willing |
| Drawing through hand |
I hate you |
| Twirling in right hand |
I love another |
| Drawing across cheek |
I love you |
| Closing it |
I wish to speak to you |
| Drawing across eyes |
I am sorry |
| Resting it on right cheek |
Yes |
| Resting it on left cheek |
No |
| Open and shut |
You are Cruel |
| Drooping |
We will be friends |
| Fanning slowley |
I am married |
| Fanning Fast |
I am engaged |
| Handle to lips |
Kiss me |
| Shut |
I have changed my mind |
| Open Wide |
Wait for me |
