"Well, and what did you do yesterday? Win anything?" asked Vronsky. "Eight thousand. But three don't count; he won't pay up." "Oh, then you can afford to lose over me," said Vronsky, laughing. "No chance of my losing. Mahotin's the only one that's risky." And the conversation passed to forecasts of the coming race, the only thing Vronsky could think of just now.
An individual hostile battle ship or cruiser would find it difficult to break into the transport fleet. An important factor in the sea voyage, perhaps the most important, is the weather. For short distances, it is possible to a certain degree to choose favorable weather for the passage, with the help of scientific forecasts. Conditions might be such that a delay would not harm the operations.
So it was that Saxon had held back the announcement of her approaching marriage until it was unavoidable. She expected a scene, and she got it. "A prizefighter, a hoodlum, a plug-ugly," Sarah sneered, after she had exhausted herself of all calamitous forecasts of her own future and the future of her children in the absence of Saxon's weekly four dollars and a half.
Afterwards these generalizations will be modified in accordance with certain broad differences of race, custom, and religion.

James was elected to the legislature by a plurality of fifteen hundred votes over his antagonist, a majority unheard of in the Eleventh District.
'The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him, and it is ever true that they who live in amity and communion with God thereby acquire insight into His purposes. Even in regard to public or so-called 'political' events, a man who believes in God and His moral government will often be endowed with a 'terrible sagacity, which forecasts consequences more surely than do godless politicians.
Hence our naturally interested forecasts of the contests between them: for if he is beaten, as all must be at the close of an extended game with her, we have only to harden the brain against her allurements and we enter a clearer field. Woodseer said to Fleetwood: 'That ball has a look of a nymph running round and round till she changes to one of the Fates.
