"A woman! that one word, you dog, will explain the mystery will show you why I am thus transmuted, TRANSMOGRIFIED, and in 'a state of betweenity.

Then I bowed with profound dignity, and stepping from their view, disappeared. A few minutes later I emerged from my cave, a transmogrified being. I was no longer the derelict of rags and tatters.

Just so, as Euripides tells us, Iolaus was transmogrified; and thus Phaon, for whom kind-hearted Sappho run wild, grew young again, for Venus's use; so Tithon by Aurora's means; so Aeson by Medea, and Jason also, who, if you'll believe Pherecides and Simonides, was new-vamped and dyed by that witch; and so were the nurses of jolly Bacchus, and their husbands, as Aeschylus relates.
I'm practised upon Keep still? No, not if I was nailed up in one of the soldier's 'wooden overcoats. The world is transformed, transfigured, transmogrified, and 'things are not what they seem!

All our noble consistory, for want of a categorical resolution, were seized with such a horrid thirst, that above seventy-eight hogsheads of nectar were swilled down at that sitting.

Brownlow had befriended when the elder was struggling, as a daily governess, to provide home and education for the younger. Now, the one was a worthy, hard-working law-copier, the other an artist in a small way, who had transmogrified her name of Jane into Juanita or Nita, wore a crop, short petticoats, and was odd.
"I would do a great deal to be with you, but I won't abandon my country and be transmogrified into a Russian." "You are right, Jack," said Clem, with a sigh; "however, the officers will not object to my talking with you, and we must hope for the best."
The men's garments she would modestly sell to a second-hand shop, but the women's she cleaned and turned and transmogrified and sold in Petticoat Lane of a Sunday morning; scavenger, earth-worm, and alchemist, she was a humble agent in the great economic process by which cast-off clothes renew their youth and freshness, and having set in their original sphere rise endlessly on other social horizons.
