Examples

“There didn't seem to be much furniture in the house, but when we began to move⟳ it, it at once seemed to multiply⟳ itself with the rapidity of compound interest⟳. We got all the clothes out first, in drawers and clothes-baskets, and tied up in sheets. Eliza wasn't much use⟳. The only thing she could do was to look⟳ for a bed-key to unscrew the iron⟳ bedsteads; but Oswald and Dicky toiled on.”
