Eva Goss was a woman given to uncanny intuitions. It was her contention,
often expressed to Mr. Goss, that the female of the species had an occult
sixth sense which a mere male did not possess. Some of her intimations of
disaster bordered on the supernatural, as witness the occasion, some years
ago, when she had urged Mr. Goss to turn back to the house as they were
setting out for a drive, because she had a premonition she left her
cigarette burning somewhere. Mr. Goss could not find her cigarette, but
while he was looking for it he had laid his lighted cigar on the hall
table, and the house had burned to the ground. Mrs. Goss could not have
been more pleased.
