Further, the more we learn, especially thanks to the modern experimental study of heredity, regarding the constitution of the individual of either sex, the more we perceive how immensely complex and how infinitely variable that constitution is.
Yet since its return was somewhat variable and uncertain the question, What could man do to assist that return? naturally became a pressing one. It is now generally held that the use of Magic sympathetic magic arose in this way. Sympathetic magic seems to have been generated by a belief that your own actions cause a similar response in things and persons around you.
When a manager revives an old musical comedy he appeals directly to sentiment. Of course, the exact date of the good old days is a variable quantity.
John Murray has referred to this love of mystery on the part of his father’s friend, and also to his moody and variable temperament; while Mr. G. T. Bettany has related how he enjoyed creating a sensation by riding about on a fine Arab horse which he brought home with him from Turkey in 1844.
His language was extremely simple and straightforward; but his mobile expression so variable that his enemies saw in it a suggestion of Mephistopheles, and his friends a resemblance to Dante his measured diction, and his skilful use of a deep-toned voice, gave a remarkable impressiveness to all he said even, indeed, to utterances which, if spoken by another, would sometimes have sounded commonplace or obvious.
Adjusting the No. 2 Set.

"Ah mais, this is too much! if the jury doesn't know its mind better than this!" and in the fury of her wrath she well-nigh upset the crooked little old gentleman and his three-legged stool.
On the ordinary view of each species having been independently created, why should that part of the structure, which differs from the same part in other independently created species of the same genus, be more variable than those parts which are closely alike in the several species? I do not see that any explanation can be given.
We continued to ply upwards, with variable light breezes between E.S.E. and S., till ten next morning, when it fell calm. We were, at this time, about seven or eight miles from the head of the bay, which is terminated by a low beach; and behind that, is an extensive flat covered with wood, and bounded on each side by a ridge of mountains.
It must be perfectly understood that this variable can change in an independent manner, and that it is, for instance, distinct from the change of temperature.
