"Auspicate" is a word in ENGLISH
Auspicious.
To foreshow; to foretoken.
To give a favorable turn to in commencing; to
inaugurate; -- a sense derived from the Roman practice of taking the
auspicium, or inspection of birds, before undertaking any important
business.
The rain spun in the yellow arc lights over the café parking lot. It was empty inside, except for a fat Negro woman whom I could see through the service window in the kitchen, and a pretty, redheaded waitress in her early twenties, dressed in a pink uniform with her hair tied up on her freckled neck. She was obviously tired, but she was polite and smiled at me when she took my order, and I felt a sense of guilt, almost shame, at my susceptibility and easy fondness for a young woman's smile. Because if you're forty-nine and unmarried or a widower or if you've simply chosen to live alone, you're easily flattered by a young woman's seeming attention to you, and you forget that it is often simply a deference to your age.
