"If the memory of the past is the instruction of the present and the premonition of the future, it is to be feared that having reached so great excellence, power, wisdom, studies, books, industries will decline, as has happened in the past, and disappear confusion succeeding to the order and perfection of to-day, rudeness to civilisation, ignorance to knowledge.
Then it was Grace who, with a dreadful premonition, thought of her candy. She turned quickly, saw that the box was gone, and uttered a wail of woe. "That little Turk of a sister of yours has done it again," she cried, turning to Mollie, while Betty and Amy began to laugh. "You just wait till I catch her.

More than anything I know of her, what even you don't deny, my premonition is warning you, that it will be your doom, if you don't avoid her in these last hours. Promise it to me, my dearest friend!" He extended his hand to him.
How shall any empire, any state, conscious of its destiny, imitate the self-effacement prescribed to the individual "In honour preferring one another"? This in an imperial State were the premonition of decay, the presage of death. But there is one great pledge, a solemn warrant of her resolve to swerve not, to blench not, which England has already offered.
Watching the rider, filled with a sudden, breathless premonition of impending tragedy, Rosalind saw his eyes glitter with the imminence of physical action. Distressed, stirred by an impulse to avert what threatened, she took a step forward, speaking rapidly to Corrigan: "Mr. Corrigan, this is positively silly! You know you were hardly discreet!"
