Examples
“Ser Perth cut⟳ his words off with a sharp laugh⟳. "Maybe a man. But who said you were a man, Dave Hanson? Can't you even understand⟳ that? You're only half human. The other half is mandrake—a plant⟳ that is related to humanity through shapes and signs by magic. We make⟳ simulacra out of mandrakes—like⟳ the manicurist in the barber shop⟳. And sometimes we use⟳ a mandrake root to capture⟳ the essence of a real man, in which case he's a mandrake-man, like⟳ you. Human? No. But a very good imitation, I must admit⟳."”
“Again and again, I watched as manicurists, bowed over a hand or a foot of a client, some young as seven, say⟳, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry,” when they had done nothing wrong.”
