Examples
“The knowledge of envy was a pleasant feeling to the man of no account. It was intensified later in the day when a luncher at the Club said, spitefully, “Well, for a debilitated Ditcher, Yeere, you are going it. Hasn't any kind friend told you that she's the most dangerous woman in Simla?””
“‘Perhaps you would like⟳ to tell⟳ me what kept you?’ ‘Not really, sir.’ Something of a gasp ran around the form-room. This was going it a bit strong, even for Healey. ‘I beg⟳ your pardon?’”
“Boot after boot was tried on until at last⟳ a fit was obtained, when in rushed a man, snatched up the customer's hat left near the door, and ran down the street as fast as his legs could carry⟳ him. Away went the customer after his hat, and Crispin, standing at the door, clapped his hands, and shouted, “Go it, you'll catch⟳ him!”—little thinking that it was a concerted trick⟳, and that neither his boots nor the customer would ever return⟳.”
