Dear teachers,

Would you tell me whether I am right about my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?

I never want to have my palm read; I don’t think you can tell the future from a few lines.

read someone’s palm = tell someone’s fortune by reading someone’s hand

Thanks for your efforts.

Regards,

V
