He made many friends, studied hard, and did some brilliant work. He abandoned, upon calmer reflection, the idea of going abroad, and was given to understand that his position on the Courier might be regarded as a permanency. He saw his future gradually defined in clearer colours it became obvious to him that his days of struggling were past and over.
Startling as it may be to propose change rather than permanency in the civil service, that may prove to be best adapted to our wants.
Tendency to equilibrium of force and to permanency of form then, are the characters of that portion of the universe which does not live the domain of the chemist and physicist. Tendency to disturb existing equilibrium, to take on forms which succeed one another in definite cycles, is the character of the living world.
But few of these had any permanency; and none of them consolidated the rest, or any considerable number of the rest, into one coherent and organized civil and political society.
Others admired the rich, strong coloring, the permanency of the pigments, and the powerful, ferocious head, either Russian or Polish, that seemed to fairly stand out from the old canvas.

Rowe-Martin, it seems, had suffered a recent bereavement with an aspect of permanency, in the loss of a four thousand dollar Airdale who had stopped traffic in Fifth Avenue for twenty minutes while a sympathetic crowd viewed his gory remains, and an unhappy but garrulous taxi-cab driver tried to account for his crime. He never even thought of the insanity dodge.
As Mavis followed, it occurred to her how this remark might be invariably retailed to prospective lodgers by Mrs Farthing. The bedroom's neat appointments made it even more attractive in Mavis' eyes than the sitting-room. Mrs. Farthing wanted eight shillings a week for a permanency, but Mavis stuck out for seven.
Often a quite assified remark becomes sanctified by use and petrified by custom; it is then a permanency, its term of activity a geologic period.
With appreciation, which comes at the end, when the critic and the criticised are about to part, it is otherwise. The sea appreciation of one's humble talents has the permanency of the written word, seldom the charm of variety, is formal in its phrasing.
