During all the time that these West Indian events had been occurring, that is, nearly three years, I had no other communication with England than regularly and repeatedly sending there various pieces of paper thus headed, "This, my first of exchange, my second and third not paid;" or for variety's sake, "This, my second of exchange, my first and third," etcetera; or, to be more various still, "This, my third, my first and second," all of which received more attention than their strange phraseology seemed to entitle them to.
Henchard dropped the glass, and for some seconds made no other movement. Newson waited, and Henchard waited if that could be called a waiting which was a transfixture.

She preferred the novel of intrigue and passion in which the characters could be run through a breathless maze of amatory adventures, with a pause now and again to relate a digressive episode for variety's sake.
"Variety's the very spice of life That gives it all its flavor." "Domestic happiness, thou only bliss Of Paradise that has survived the fall." Life has a chronology quite independent of the almanac.

When I soar too high you must jerk me down to level ground." "I begin to think I might like a cloud-ride myself occasionally, just for variety's sake," he laughed.

That would have been another opportunity to get a good deal of the American summer atmosphere into the book. I wish I could afford the kind of summer I contemplated giving her." "You didn't intend that she should fall in love with Bonetti?" I asked.
For variety's sake, we shall close our notice of him, and for the present, of "The American Library," with an extract from "Mrs Bullfrog." Mr Bullfrog is an elegant and fastidious linen-draper, of feminine sensibility, and only too exquisite refinement.
A letter is preserved, addressed to one of these solitaries by the superior of his order, full of admirable hygienic advice; bidding him go from his book to praying, and so back again, for variety's sake, and when he was weary of both to stroll about his garden and observe the honey bees.
