"The black cat scowled at them as they accidently walked under a ladder - it was these auguries so early in their trip that worried Scott."

"They knew now that the rainy weather they just passed wasn't the low point of the trip but rather served as only an augury for the events to come."

"Every little abnormality they would come upon was seen as an augry of some sort by the superstituous Magdeline."
