Warn her, Bard, that Power is pressing Hotly for his dues this hour, Tell her that no drunken blessing Stops the onward march of Power, Has she ears to take forewarnings, She will cleanse her of her stains, Feed and speed for braver mornings Valorously the growth of brains.
"But this is foolishness," he said, laughing again at himself, for few men thought less of signs and forewarnings than he. Then he looked out again to windward, under his hand, and all of a sudden turned sharply to me, pointing and saying: "But, as I live, hither comes something from the open sea!"
Our firm never offered a hoof, but the three days of the convention were forewarnings of the next few years to follow.
But a lady, who had lived in a great house with many servants, who had founded an Amateur Quartet Society, the hem of whose garment had never been touched with irreverent finger could she stand in peril of such indignity? Not till now had she called to mind the forewarnings of Sibyl Carnaby, which, at the time of hearing them, she did not at all understand.
The neighborhood, I knew from my acquaintance with the city, was respectable enough, yet it was remote, and occupied by none of any station. Certainly it was not to be considered fit residence for a woman such as this who sat beside me. I admit I was puzzled.

The dog that guards the gateway to that dark and doleful land came out to meet him.
There are always forewarnings; and while the surface mind habitually refuses to note them, though they be clear as sunset silhouettes, the subconscious mind is not so stupid so blind under the sweet spells of that arch-enchanter, vanity. At last Ross came, but without sending Adelaide word. His telegram to his mother gave just time for a trap to meet him at the station.
"Old Elspeth Blackfell was but playing me with her groundless forewarnings of danger. Well, get me some meat and a bowl of milk, Duncan, while I go up and see this uncle of mine. He has seen much of the world, and methinks his discourse must be full of instruction for a home-keeping youth."
"Be ruled, O my son," cried Githa, clasping the Earl's knees, "and do not let me dread in the depth of the night to see the shade of Godwin, and hear his voice say, 'Woman, where is Harold?"
