It bodes ill for us, my friend.

My visit bodes you no harm-neither you nor any one belonging to you.
"The Box with the Broken Seals"
E. Phillips Oppenheim
The legends that gained currency-the army of Russians crossing England, the number of mutilated Belgian babies that were seen, the story of the Germans boiling down their dead to extract the fat, a story that for obscene stupidity beats everything else, the Mons angels, the craze for mascots-all bore witness to the prevalence of a frame of mind that bodes ill for progress.
