The fore part of the succeeding day also passed, though people soon began to pour into the village from all quarters, with singular quietness, all seeming to be oppressed with that deep feeling of hushed expectation which may often be seen to predispose men to a sort of restless silence, on the known eve of an exciting event.
He did not mention any of these things to Evelyn, for he knew it was hard for her to keep up friendly relations with Reginald and Randolph, and he did not want to say anything that would further predispose her against them. However, Evelyn, with some of her father's shrewdness, was arriving at a very correct estimate of the twins without any help from anyone.
"I cannot tell you all about it; you would laugh at me," she whispered; "but this was mine once." "It is yours now, dear," said Jane. IT was an insolent day. There are days which, to imaginative minds, at least, possess strangely human qualities.

The season was not yet; the fruit was not ripe enough for plucking; still, what should it signify that he had given the tree a slight premonitory shake? A little premature, perhaps, but it would predispose the fruit to fall.
Acrid wines rot the teeth Germans are afflicted with toothache from infancy. All people subject to toothache are sentimental. Goethe was a martyr to toothache. 'Werther' was written in one of those paroxysms which predispose genius to suicide.
In the lower extremity, for example, any condition which disturbs the static equilibrium of the limb as a whole would appear to predispose to the disease in one or other of the joints. The static equilibrium may be disturbed by such deformities as flat-foot or knock-knee, and badly united fractures of the lower extremity.
