As it was, she was not above a certain forewarning sense that made her say with an air of inconsequence as Claire finished her recital: "Mrs. Towne tells me that there is a chance that Mr. Stillman's wife may get well. She's in a private sanitarium, at Livermore, you know." She stopped to draw up the bedclothes higher.
How did I ever do what I did? How do I know? What force urged me on? What malevolent power took possession of me? Oh! the temptation to crime came to me without any forewarning. All I recall is that my heart beat tumultuously. It beat so hard that I could hear it, as one hears the strokes of a hammer behind a partition. That is all I can recall the beating of my heart!
In syncope both breathing and the pulse fail, the face grows pale, and the woman faints suddenly; but in hysterical attacks there are usually both breathing and pulse, though these are indistinct; the face is red and she has a forewarning of the approaching fit. It cannot, however, be denied that syncope may accompany this feeling of suffocation.
Otto thought upon the German Heinrich and upon Sophie, his life's good and bad angels; and he pictured to himself how it would be if she extended to him her hand was his bride! and Heinrich called forth before her the recollections which made his blood curdle. It seemed to him as if something evil impended over him this night. "I feel a forewarning of it!" said he aloud.
Tchernoff continued drinking, but with a distracted air, his eyes fixed on the red cloud that floated over the roofs. The two friends conjectured his mental labor from his concentrated look, and the low exclamations which were escaping him like the echoes of an interior monologue. Suddenly he leaped from thought to word without any forewarning, continuing aloud the course of his reasoning.

Give it to young Nevile, artfully effect his escape, as if against our knowledge, and commend him to lose not an hour a moment in gaining the earl, and giving him so important a forewarning of the meditated treason of his son-in-law." "I will do all, I comprehend; but how will the duke learn in time that the letter is on its way to Warwick?" "I will seek the duke in his own tent."
I take the universal wide-spread greed of gain to be one of the worst signs of the times, the forewarning of some great upheaval and disaster, the effects of which no human mind can calculate. I am told that America is destined to be the dominating power of the future, but I doubt it!
Philippa glanced at her friend through the looking-glass before which she was brushing her hair, and made a little grimace. She felt a forewarning of what was coming. "Of course, dear," she replied. "Have you enjoyed your evening?" "Very much, in a way," was the somewhat hesitating reply. "Of course, nothing really counts until Dick comes back, but it is nice to talk with some one who knows him."
"A forewarning," whispered my wife; "a forewarning of what has this day happened under our roof. It was a wraith we saw. Wilbur, I shall not spend another night in these rooms." And we did not. I was as anxious to leave as she was. Yet I am not a superstitious man.
