one's master

a future―an outlook―prospects

from the first

Ahead of there

act in advance of

the adoptive family

Where we passed

to forestall one―anticipate one―get the start of one―steal a march on one―be beforehand with one

move forward

to forestall the others―get the start of the others―steal a march on the others

action having to do with progress of action or matter (move forward, advance)

First come, first serves.

first of all

to lead the rest―lead the way―take the lead―precede the rest

to arrive first

from there onward

Excuse me, I shall go on before you

It is a bad outlook for me.

from now on
