A fine figure, delicate hands, and handsome face, with fascinating manners, a graceful carriage, and such accomplishments as were the fashion, quite regardless of the accomplishments of head or heart, were all that were required by the class of men who could afford to keep such dainty wares.But love, inspired by such attractions as these and nothing else, is ever fickle as the wind.When health declined and beauty faded, the fire of passion, misnamed love, died out; and the hapless wife frequently found herself deserted -- if not openly, none the less shamefully -- for a younger rival, whose eye was brighter and whose cheek more plump.…Cited from Woman: Man's Equal, by Thomas Webster

They were running up into the latitude of the Bay, too, and might reasonably expect that "Biscay weather" would not take much from the violence of the existing gale.However, the dreaded Bay, fickle as usual, saw fit to receive them at first with a smiling face.The gale eased to a plain smiling wind; the sullen black clouds dissolved away into fleckless blue, and a sun came out which peeled their arms and faces as they worked.…Cited from A Master of Fortune, by C. J. Cutcliffe Hyne
Katharine moved among her cushions until she was facing her friend."Do you think I am so fickle as that, Florence?" she asked, and her tone was a little hurt."If that is all my friendship amounts to, it isn't worth the having."…Cited from Half a Dozen Girls, by Anna Chapin Ray

Is there anything in nature more companionable than a mountain brook?It has its moods both grave and gay, and is as fickle as a schoolgirl.At times it chuckles at you in a musical undertone as you walk along its banks, and again it seems to warn you from trespassing on its preserves, scolding in a shrill falsetto as it dodges under the roots of a fallen tree, or dives among the lilypads, as if to hide from your sight.…Cited from Byways Around San Francisco Bay, by William E. Hutchinson
