The McKinstry ranch had long been an eyesore to the master: even that morning he had been mutely wondering from what convolution of that hideous chrysalis the bright butterfly Cressy had emerged. It was with a renewal of this curiosity that he had just seen her flutter back to it again.
In order then that disease might not quickly destroy us, and lest our mortal race should perish without fulfilling its end intending to provide against this, the gods made what is called the lower belly, to be a receptacle for the superfluous meat and drink, and formed the convolution of the bowels, so that the food might be prevented from passing quickly through and compelling the body to require more food, thus producing insatiable gluttony, and making the whole race an enemy to philosophy and music, and rebellious against the divinest element within us.
Changing instantly from Seaton's form to that of Dorothy, likewise a perfect imitation, the stranger continued without a break: "Atoms and electrons and things, spinning and whirling in their dizzy little orbits...." It broke off abruptly, continuing in the form of DuQuesne: "Couldn't make myself clear as Miss Vaneman not a scientific convolution in her foolish little brain.
But how can we conceive the transformation of this convolution into a semi-material phenomenon? How can we comprehend that there should issue from this convolution the material object of a perception for example, a plain dotted with houses? An English histologist remarked one day, with some eloquence, how little the most minute study of the brain aided us to understand thought.
M. Alain's expensive way of life, his clothes and mistresses, his dicing and racehorses, were all explained: he was in the pay of Buonaparte, a hired spy, and a man that held the strings of what I can only call a convolution of extremely fishy enterprises.
Certainly the contriver of Woodford Cottage must have had some slight twist of the brain, which caused the building to partake of the same pleasant convolution. Yet, save this slight peculiarity, it was a charming house to live in.
In only one specimen did the brain, in these particulars, follow the law which Gratiolet has expressed. As regards the presence of the superior bridging convolution, I am inclined to think that it has existed in one hemisphere, at least, in a majority of the brains of this animal which have, up to this time, been figured or described.

The process of general enlargement and of progressive convolution are continued, and stages are reached and passed which correspond with the monkey and ape conditions. Nothing in human development is more impressive than the origin of the cerebrum and its development by passing through successive stages which are counterparts in the main of the adult brains of other and lower animals.
He had begun on the spot, for one of the quarterlies, a great last word on Vereker's writings, and this exhaustive study, the only one that would have counted, have existed, was to turn on the new light, to utter oh, so quietly! the unimagined truth. It was in other words to trace the figure in the carpet through every convolution, to reproduce it in every tint.
