'Now, said James, 'what strikes me is, what doleful bodings can come into a brave man's head on a chill morning before he has broken his fast. A tankard of hot ale will chase away omens, whether of bishop or bedesman. 'It may chase them from the mind, but will not make away with them, said John.
I feared it. What had he gone below for? His bag of coin? Possibly. I drew near the door, full of bodings. It was a-crack, and I glanced in and saw a sight that made me bitterly wish I had given my attention to saving my poor cattle-friend, instead of reading and dreaming my foolish time away. He was gambling.
Govan shook his head. "I cannot tell. Men who bide alone as I bide have strange bodings in their solitude. I have known the like come over me before, and it has ever been a true warning." Now it was my turn to be silent, for all this was beyond me. I had heard of hermits before, but had never seen one.
What sweet and precious dreams played around her, and greeted her with happy bodings of the future! The door opened, and she started up to meet her father. But it was not her father it was Bertram. And how altered how pale and troubled he looked! He hardly noticed her, and his eye gleamed on her without seeing her. What was it that had so changed him?
Remember, my pledge is passed but for real danger, and that only for Scotland's sake, not for mine own; and now farewell, lady.

When the letter was done, Washington and the Colonel sallied forth, and as they walked along Washington learned what he was to be. He was to be a clerk in a real estate office.
New bodings in my anxious breast, Waked by this sudden friendship, rise; Ne'er would I choose my home of rest On the stilled lava-stream, that cold Beneath the mountain lies Not thus was discord's flame controlled Too deep the rooted hate too long They brooded in their sullen hearts O'er unforgotten, treasured wrong.
She sat and stitched them, far into the night, and stitched her sad little bodings in, one by one. Already desolation gripped Aunt Olivia's heart. Rebecca Mary's dreams that night were marvelous ones. She dreamed she saw herself in a glass after she had learned all the things there were to learn, and she looked like the minister!
Then we looked the same startled thought into each other's eyes at the same moment; more than two weeks gone, and that ship not back yet! In another minute I appeared in the presence of my train. They had been steeped in troubled bodings all this time their faces showed it. I called an escort and we galloped five miles to a hilltop overlooking the sea.
