Our animals numbered two riding, and seven pack, horses, two draft, and eight pack, bullocks, exclusive of two horses of my own, and two for the men to be sent back. The morning of the 7th December, the day upon which we were to leave the valley, was ushered in by a cloudless sky, and that heated appearance in the atmosphere which foretells an oppressively sultry day.
Auriculas, in beds, denote luck; in pots, marriage: while to gather them, foretells widowhood. Bilberries, predict a pleasant excursion. Broom-flowers, an increase of family. Cauliflowers, predict that all your friends will slight you, or that you will fall into poverty and find no one to pity you. Dock-leaves, a present from the country. Daffodils.
I saw that if I put him on the defensive I should have him at advantage, for he had not that art of the true swordsman, the prescient quality which foretells the opponents action and stands prepared. There I had him at fatal advantage could, I felt, give him last reward of insult at my pleasure.
"From that accursed Antioch whence nothing good has ever come to me I have received the saying of an oracle which foretells that, that why should I hide it from you in the middle of the year now about to begin some dreadful misfortune shall fall upon me, as lightning strikes the traveller to the earth; and tonight look here.
In this far-off land of dreams it seems "always afternoon," and the complacency wherewith the entire population places itself "hors de combat" becomes a perpetual irritation to the traveller, anxious to seize a golden opportunity of fresh experience. The sun sinks out of sight before the sultry atmosphere begins to cool. The weird "gecko," a large lizard which foretells rain, screams "Becky!
"That is true, but I have larger resources." President Lincoln asked a friend, a senator, immediately on his taking office, upon an embarrassed condition of affairs: "Have you seen that prophecy about my administration in the papers? A prophet foretells that my rule will be one of steel! To which the wags retort: 'Well, Buchanan's was one of steal."
By the music, saying she had been informed that music foretells deaths within a twelvemonth. Who did she say had informed her so? She said Mr. Cranstoun had been to some famous woman who had informed him so, and named one Mrs. Morgan, who lived either in Scotland or London, I cannot say which. Did she express herself glad or sorry?
She always had a great delight in climbing, and in feeling herself at the top of everything. It was such a strange afternoon too, grey, soft, warm, the sun having long gone in and left an atmosphere of pleasant cloudiness, tender and dim, the shadowing over of a fading day, which nevertheless foretells no rain, but often indicates a beautiful day to-morrow.
Roback cures all sorts of diseases, discovers stolen property, insures children a marriage, and so on, all by means of "conjurations." He also casts nativities and foretells future events; and he shows in full how Bernadotte, Louis Philippe, and Napoleon Bonaparte either did well or would have done well by following his advice.
The prophet is not responsible for the event he foretells. He may contemplate it with profoundest sorrow. Christ wept over the doom of Jerusalem. Neither am I an anarchist: for I paint a dreadful picture of the world-wreck which successful anarchism would produce.
