His contemporaries, however, unlike those of Gifford’s artist, do not seem to have⟳ found out the mistake⟳, and so the betowelled monkey has come⟳ to hold⟳ a conspicuous place⟳ among the solemnities of the Cathedral.”

“Both saunas offer⟳ discount to the under 26’s, and provide⟳ clean⟳ towels and robes. A patient and steady parade of betowelled torsos pad barefoot along the carpeted passageways, passing by the entrances to rooms occupied by those customers who have⟳ positioned themselves on the bunks to best advantage in the hope⟳ of attracting a suitable gentleman caller.”

“I was largely submerged in the bath, happily steaming off the remains of the head-cold, when there was a knock⟳ on the bedroom door. Betowelled, I opened it.”
