"I thought so at first, and I find, as I usually do, that my first thought was right." What had been but an adverse feeling was now considered as a prescient judgment.
The weather was for the most part divinely beautiful, so tenderly and evenly cool and warm, with a sort of lingering fondness in the sunshine, as if it were prescient of the fogs so soon to blot it.
The table is cleared, and the chairs arranged with as little regard to comfort as may be. The divine retires for the sermon which prescient of his doom he has slipped into his valise. The landlord produces two hymn-books of perfectly different origins, and some time is spent in finding a hymn which is common to both.
Nelson, instructed by the experience and observation of the recent past, and by a certain prescient sagacity which was at once native and cultivated in him, recognized that the Mediterranean, with its immense indented coast line, its positions of critical importance, such as the Straits of Gibraltar and the Bosphorus, Egypt and Malta, and its comparatively short water distances, was the field of operations to which the maritime ambitions of Bonaparte, debarred a wider flight by the sea-power of Great Britain, must inevitably incline.

Unorna was left alone. She could not sit still in her extreme anxiety. She felt also a terrible doubt as to whether she would recognise her, at first sight, as the same woman whose shadow had passed between herself and the Wanderer on that eventful day a month ago. The shadow had been veiled, but she had a prescient consciousness of the features beneath the veil.
Now I am in rather high spirits. I am very glad that Imogene has become Lady Beaumaris. She is beautiful, and dangerously beautiful. Do you know, my Endymion, I have had some uneasy moments about this young lady. Women are prescient in these matters, and I have observed with anxiety that you admired her too much yourself." "I am sure you had no reason, Myra," said Endymion, blushing deeply.
He, at any rate, if others in his Cabinet are not so prescient, knows what Labour means." "I agree with the Bishop, for many reasons," Furley pronounced. "And I," Cross echoed. The sense of the meeting was obvious. Fenn's unpleasant looking teeth flashed for a moment, and his mouth came together with a little snap. "This is entirely an informal gathering," he said.
