That sense had already been so well fed by the situation about them that she had quitted the other room, forsaken the music, dropped out of the play, abandoned, in a word, the stage itself, that she might stand a minute behind the scenes with Strether and so perhaps figure as one of the famous augurs replying, behind the oracle, to the wink of the other.

Hark, in these shady parlours, how it talks Of the near Autumn, how the smitten ash Trembles and augurs floods!
