As my time drew nearer, and there got to be talk of my having a new coat for the ceremony, my mind began to misgive me.
The Moonstone by Collins, Wilkie View in context
Will not your mind misgive you when you find yourself in this gloomy chamber -- too lofty and extensive for you, with only the feeble rays of a single lamp to take in its size -- its walls hung with tapestry exhibiting figures as large as life, and the bed, of dark green stuff or purple velvet, presenting even a funereal appearance?
Northanger Abbey by Austen, Jane View in context

The Woman in White by Collins, Wilkie View in context
