In its quiescent state the scene was not so striking as I had expected, though the whirling volumes of smoke that filled the air, and the strange sounds that issued from the ground in every direction, filled my mind with strong premonitions of what might take place at any moment.
Further, has it not been found again and again that the hypnotized and the hysteric cannot only remember long-forgotten parts of the past but have telepathic knowledge for distant events and even mysterious premonitions of the field of occurrences of the future?
That night as she lay awake listening to his easy breathing, for the first time since her marriage her pillow was dampened by tears. In the nest morning's sun Mary's premonitions appeared absurd. Stefan waked in high spirits, and planned a morning's work on his drawings of the city, while Mary, off duty as a model, decided to take her story in person to the office of one of the women's papers.
The farmer assured us that nothing notable had happened about the Great Eyrie for some time. We supped at a common table with all the people of the farm; and our sleep that night was sound and wholly untroubled by premonitions of the future. On the morrow, before break of day, we set out for the ascent of the mountain. The height of the Great Eyrie scarce exceeds five thousand feet.
"You don't 'ear anything, sir?" "Not a sound." "It's cruel cold, Mr. Amber. 'Adn't you better come inside, sir?" "I suppose so." He abandoned hope disconsolately and returned to the hut, his teeth inclined to chatter and his stomach assailed by qualms premonitions of exhaustion in a body insufficiently nourished. Doggott, himself similarly affected, perhaps, was quick to recognise the symptoms.
In the afternoon they threaded valleys, silent save for the talk between them and the stirring of the leaves under their horses' feet. So the Indian summer passed that breathless season when even happiness has its premonitions and its pangs. The umber fields, all ploughed and harrowed, lay patiently awaiting the coming again of the quickening spring.
He thought of that grey morning when he had sat there alone, oppressed by some dim premonitions of the tragedy amongst whose shadows he was already passing, so that even the wind which had followed the dawn, and shaken the rain-drops down upon him, had seemed to carry upon its bosom wailing cries and sad human voices.
And yet, with all their gaiety, as its last triumphant note in truth, they were ready to trifle with death, welcoming, by way of a foil to the easy character of their days, a certain luxurious sense of danger the night-alarm, the arquebuse peeping from some quiet farm-building across their way, the rumoured presence in their neighbourhood of this or that great military leader delightful premonitions of the adventurous life soon to be their own in Paris.
He supplied the Kirk with the tradition of supernormal premonitions in preachers second-sight and clairvoyance as in the case of Mr. Peden and other saints of the Covenant. But just as good cases of clairvoyance as any of Mr. Peden's are attributed to Catherine de Medici, who was not a saint, by her daughter, La Reine Margot, and others.
She was already developing a tendency to sit serenely on the veranda of the club through the dances, to encourage others rather than take an active part herself. Expanding in the glow of the fire and hot strong tea he forgot all about his uncomfortable premonitions of age.
