Still there was enough to confirm
his own hastily-formed suspicions of this person, and to determine him
more fully upon a circumspect habit while in his neighborhood. He saw
that his dislike and doubt were fully partaken of by those who, from
circumstance and not choice, were his associates; and felt
satisfied--though, as we have seen, without the knowledge of any one
particular which might afford a reasonable warranty for his
antipathy--that a feeling so general as Forrester described it could not
be altogether without foundation. He felt assured, by an innate
prediction of his own spirit, unuttered to his companion, that, at some
period, he should find his anticipations of this man's guilt fully
realized; though, at that moment, he did not dream that he himself, in
becoming his victim, should furnish to his own mind an almost
irrefutable argument in support of that incoherent notion of relative
sympathies and antipathies to which he had already, seemingly, given
himself up.
