"I shall be glad of your explanation, Monsieur. What is this method of which you speak?" "There are several small variations; there are the bits of paper; there are the matches; there are the beans of different size." "I am more in the dark than ever." "My friend proposes the bits of paper. Two are taken, exactly resembling each other, except in length.
"But I haven't any! There hasn't been a sign of a letter for you." "I know there is. There must be," Lizzie persisted, stamping her foot. "But, dearest, I've watched for you, and there'sbeen nothing, absolutely nothing." Day after day, for the ensuing weeks, the same scene reenacted itself with endless variations.
Nellie Farren has just sung such an exquisitely funny song; they have encored it; just listen to it, do," and Helen fixed her opera glass on the actress. The light and shadow played about her neck andarm in beautiful variations, but noticing nothing, Frank leaned forward. "Isn't it funny; isn't it delightfully funny?" "Yes, it is funny." Having heard one song they listened to the rest of the act.
It has always been difficult on Darwinian principles to understand how the beginnings of the useful variations could be selected before they were strong enough to be of actual value to the animal. This tendency to variations in certain directions instead of at random would account for such early development.
The language extends, with some slight variations of dialect, and various systems of writing, over the Turkish and Austrian provinces of Servia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Dalmatia, and the eastern part of Croatia.

From the eastern coast to the western boundary the variations in climate are very considerable. The peninsula of Canada West enjoys a climate as mild as that of the state of New York. The mean temperature, taken from ten years' observation, was 44 , and the thermometer rarely falls lower than 11 below zero, while the heat in summer is not oppressive.
She advised Thea to play "something with variations," or, at least, "The Invitation to the Dance." "It makes no matter what they like," Wunsch replied to Thea's entreaties. "It is time already that they learn something." Thea's fighting powers had been impaired by an ulcerated tooth and consequent loss of sleep, so she gave in.
Like the crowd, but more slowly, the people readily passes from adoration to hatred. A man may be the hero of the people at one period, and finally earn its curses. These variations of popular opinion concerning political personalities may be observed in all times. The history of Cromwell furnishes us with a very curious example.
As iron girders and pillars expand and contract with the mere variations of temperature, so will the strongest conviction on which the human intellect rests its judgment vary with the changes of the human heart; and the building is only safe where these variations are foreseen and allowed for by a wisdom intent on self-knowledge.
