Lieutenant Augur was taken seriously sick before we reached Goliad and at a distance from any habitation. To add to the complication, his horse a mustang that had probably been captured from the band of wild horses before alluded to, and of undoubted longevity at his capture gave out. It was absolutely necessary to get for ward to Goliad to find a shelter for our sick companion.
I consider them far ahead of Cicero's Roman Augurs with their chicken-bowels: "Behold these divine chicken-bowels, O Senate and Roman People; the midriff has fallen eastward!" solemnly intimates one Augur. "By Proserpina and the triple Hecate!" exclaims the other, "I say the midriff has fallen to the west!"
Whenever you make an impression on a man, stop; your reasonin' and details may ruin you. Like a feller who sais a good thing, he'd better shove off, and leave every one larfin' at his wit, than stop and tire them out, till they say what a great screw augur that is.
Foremost among these must be placed that very outward prosperity which would seem at the first glance to augur for the Church a useful and prosperous career. But that 'which should have been for her wealth' proved to her 'an occasion of falling. The peace which she enjoyed made her careless and inactive.
"Still, if Madame Desvarennes were not the woman you think her " Then, hesitating: "If she took my part, and thinking that he who was an unloyal lover would be an unfaithful husband she would augur of the future of her daughter by my experience; and what would happen?" "Simply this," returned Serge.
The general rumor of the impending visit of the king, which the regent took care to have widely circulated, was also of great service to her in this matter; many who could not augur much good to themselves from the royal presence did not hesitate to accept a pardon, which, perhaps, for what they could tell, was offered them for the last time.
Being led by the augur into the citadel, he sat down on a stone, with his face looking towards the south, and on his left hand sat the augur, having his head covered and in his hand an augur's staff, which is a wand bent at the end and having no knot.
"We have brought them back with us, sir," said Professor Sharp stiffly. The president of the college gazed keenly at the Rovers and Stanley. They looked at him in return, but blinked and swayed as they did so. "I will listen to the story," said Doctor Wallington, turning to the two instructors, and his voice had a hard tone to it that did not augur well for the students.
Still further down the steps and closer to the catafalque rest the familiar faces of many of our greatest generals the manly features of Augur, whose blood I have seen trickling forth upon the field of battle; the open almost, beardless contour of Halleck, who has often talked of sieges and campaigns with this homely gentleman who is going to the grave.
Augur, who had been ill for some time, yet unwilling to relinquish his command, now found himself unfitted for the summer campaign that seemed in prospect. He accordingly turned over his division to Weitzel, took leave of absence on surgeon's certificate, and went North to recruit his health.
