Examples

““It was the most absurd kiss. I don't believe he'd ever kissed a woman in his life before. I threw my head back, and it was a sort of slidy, pecking dab, just on the end of the chinhere.” Mrs. Hauksbee tapped her masculine little chin with her fan.”
With some satisfaction, Gergory read this through twice, signed it and added kisses[.]”
