May I ask an English question? Written by Shir (4/8/2003 10:33 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, GR: Enter General Tilney, penned by Cheryl

] Also at the theatre, she sees John Thorpe talking to the General and both of them looking her way. Hmmm.... that does not auger well, I fear...

I know exactly what you mean but.. What is ‘auger’? It must be something other than the tool or there’s a metaphorical use of it???
Thanks!
(BTW, should I have posted this on Ramble?)
