There was a woman at Antwerp, who had often given Astræa warning of Albert's fickleness and inconstancy, assuring her he never loved after enjoyment, and sometimes changed even before he had that pretence; of which she herself was an instance; Albert having married her, and deserted her on the wedding-night.
His error was great: and it may be here remarked that a hard and scornful scepticism may in this world engender as many false judgments and erroneous calculations as candor or even inexperience can. He believed too much in what had been written of female fickleness; in deceived lovers, who truly deserved to be such; and in what disappointed men had judged of them.
Waverley; please to turn your horse twenty yards with me upon the common. Waverley complied; and Fergus, confronting him when they were a little way from the line of march, said, with great affected coolness, 'I could not but wonder, sir, at the fickleness of taste which you were pleased to express the other day.
His former friends think him a good riddance, and his new friends are cold and strange; and as to the impartial public, their very first impulse is to impute the change to some eccentricity of character, or fickleness of mind, or tender attachment, or private interest.

Jane Masters did not hold with fickleness in love in fact, she couldn't abide it and therefore she was steadily true to a young man called 'Erb, who looked after the lift at the Stores, and was a particular friend of Gregory's in consequence. No man who had charge of a lift could fail to be admired by Gregory. Finally and very likely she ought to have come first was Runcie, or Mrs.
And, most sorrowful of all, has not your love for your God and Saviour been up and down shamefully down so that when you have afterwards reflected on your coldness towards Him and His cause, you have been covered with confusion and astonishment at the fickleness of your own heart? And more than this. How great are the changes wrought in us by the curbing influence of time!
We see the affairs of the world in shadow, you know, when our own hearts are sad." "My heart is not so sad as you think. You do not believe me: but that is because you do not believe what I am sure of that he is not to blame for anything that has happened that, at least, he has only been mistaken, that there his been no fickleness, no selfishness, in him.
Some years later, however, with the fickleness of genius, he writes about Ernestine, the daughter of a rich Bohemian Baron, "a delightfully innocent, childish soul, tender and pensive, attached to me and to everything artistic by the most sincere love, extremely musical in short, just the kind of a girl I could wish to marry."
