Perhaps it was some premonition of approaching death that made her, always gracious, always infinitely kind, untiring in helpful deeds, move about among the sick that day, with such a sorrowful-sweet tenderness for them in her noble face and in her gentle touch, and in that wood-dove's voice of hers, that they spoke of it long afterwards with bated breath.
Then, his premonition of approaching evil by no means cast aside, he pushed the door open and looked in upon a sight he was by no means prepared to see. When Fremont opened the door of the Cameron suite, facing the Great White Way, he saw that the room before him was dark and in disorder.
He folded his arms, sullenly at bay; yet had no premonition of what to expect from her. "You were very brutal to me," she said at length. "I know it; and I did not intend to be. The words came." "You had me at your mercy; and showed me little a very little at first. Afterward, none." "The words came," he repeated; "I'm sick with self-contempt, I tell you."
"Made the very day on which he died," answered Bartle, nodding emphatically. "Queer, wasn't it? He might have had some premonition, eh?" Pratt sat down again. "Where is it?" he asked. "Here in my pocket," replied the old bookseller, tapping his rusty coat. "Oh, it's all right, I assure you. All duly made out, signed, and witnessed.

And Madame von Eisenthal swept him a deep curtsy with a killing glance of adoration. 'It is new? he asked. 'Vienna fashion. 'Mint new, replied the lady, 'for your Highness's return. I felt young this morning; it was a premonition.
The premonition he admits may have set his thoughts upon things not of this world, but undoubtedly he believed that he would live long enough to conquer the rebels of Linz, and restore to the Countess her property. This is what he wrote, and she refused to publish: "'Matilda, I feel that my days are numbered, and that their number is scant.
There was premonition in the air of those days. It was like the uneasiness sensitive people experience before a thunderstorm. The moral atmosphere was sullen and close. The whole world seemed irritable and mischievous.
Wheeling with a sudden premonition of evil Hare saw the girl running along the wall toward them. Her face was white as death; she wrung her hands and her cries rose above the sound of the river. Naab sprang toward her and Hare ran at his heels. "Father! Father!" she panted. "Come quick the rustlers! the rustlers! Snap! Dene Oh hurry! They've killed Dave they've got Mescal!"
She said, "Aren't you glad? What's the matter?" His face was contracted in intensity of thought, extraordinary thought: he felt the most extraordinary premonition of something disastrous awaiting him: there was in his mind, meaninglessly, menacingly, over and over again, "Good luck have thee with thine honour ... and thy right hand shall show thee terrible things...."
