Examples

“Thrice happy you! who are not driven to such Apician luxuries,—Apician at least in point⟳ of expense, if not of so palatable a quality.”

“If dishonesty can live⟳ in a gorgeous place⟳ with pictures on all its walls, and gems in all its cupboards, with marble and ivory in all its corners, and can give⟳ Apician dinners, and get⟳ into Parliament, and deal⟳ in millions, then dishonesty is not disgraceful, and the man dishonest after such a fashion is not a low scoundrel.”
