"Let me relieve you of it," and he walked alone into the garden with the softly scented cobweb over his arm. She was standing in an old neglected summer-house, her back to the door. As he stopped behind her and laid the soft wrap over her firm white shoulders, she turned her head with a startled prescience of his personality, and met his eyes full.
Whether it was the silence of the place that told upon his nerves, strained as they were with expectation for silence, and more especially silence by night, is a great unveiler of realities, or the dread of bitter words, or the prescience of the sharp pang of parting for he knew enough of Hilda to know that, what he had to say once said, she would trouble him no more whether it was these things, or whatever it was that affected him, he grew most unaccountably anxious and depressed.
It is an excellent thing to see the faith of a hearty Englishman in his own stomach, and how well that kindly organ repays his trust; with what devout assimilation he takes to himself his kindred beef, loving it, believing in it, making a good use of it, and without any qualms of conscience or prescience as to the result.
I wonder if my father will ever know what I have done for him, and if he will appreciate it when he does. Well, it is not a bad price thirty thousand pounds a good figure for any woman in the present state of the market." And with a hard and bitter laugh, and a prescience of sorrow to come lying at the heart, she threw down the remains of the Scarlet Turk and turned away.
She shall, in her inspired and prophetic prescience, give me her advice and tell me what course I must pursue; but, in doing so, I shall have to allude to state secrets, and to speak of affairs which no one is allowed to know but the king and his ministers, and " "I pray your excellency to permit me to leave you alone with our young seer," interrupted Doctor Binder, with a polite smile.

"How about Lord Beaconsfield?" "Well, he was perhaps an exception; but then he was a man with so large a mind I say it, though I detested him that he could actually, by a sort of political prescience, see into the far future, and shape his course accordingly.
For in the deep stillness of the rising day there fell on him the strangest certainty of this loss. That gift of tragic prescience which was in his blood had stirred in him he knew his fate. Perhaps the gift itself was but the fruit of a rare power of self-vision, self-appraisement. He saw and cursed his own timid and ignorant youth.
Peter Johnson was gifted with prescience beyond the common run; but for this case, which would have been the first thought for most men, his foresight had failed. During the long six-hour nooning Boland suffered with intermittent cramps in his legs, wakeful while the others slept. He made no complaint; but, though he kept his trouble from words, he could not hold his face straight.
The first was proposed in this manner: "Either God foresaw that Lucifer and his accomplices would revolt, and be damned eternally, or he foresaw it not. If he had no foresight of it, his prescience did not extend so far as you would have us to believe; but if he foresaw it, the consequence is worse, that he did not hinder this revolt, which had prevented their damnation.
