Examples

“Through the very middle of the tangle ran the naked trunk of a fallen chestnut, showing just above the barbed vines. As the pack⟳ scrambled through the barway at the foot of the hill, the little fox ran along the log⟳, and with all his last⟳ remaining strength sprang far out across the interlaced tangle of vine and thorn, where the smooth needles under a little white pine made a tiny island in the thicket.”

“Something must be done, and his sharp fox wits never stood him in better stead than they did on this memorable chase⟳, for when the hounds came up to the stone wall they followed it for about thirty rods northward and then at a barway, an artificial break⟳ in the stone wall, the trail suddenly ended.”
