But the Proctor’s bull-dogs, who had been having a lively time with the tree-climbers in St. Giles, and were now out for blood, had come through the archway at a smart trot, and seeing a young gentleman not only engaged in nocturnal vagation without his gown but actually embracing a female ... leapt gleefully upon him, as upon a lawful prey.

With given limits of mass variation, the vagation of paths will lie within a zone of certain width. Thus a river traversing a homogeneous soil will form a bed whose width and depth will be largely determined by the variation in volume, being wider and shoaler as the vagation of the hydraulic axis is greater; narrower and deeper as the volume becomes constant and the vagation of the hydraulic becomes less.
