Examples

“We are going to call⟳ her Marie. For once we are in agreement about something, if for different reasons. I just happen⟳ to like⟳ the name⟳, it's my second favourite girl's name⟳ after Swanhild, it has such a pretty sound⟳. Rasmus, of course, likes it because it can be English and all things English he adores. 'The English can pronounce it,' he says, by which he means they pronounce it "Maar-rie", as in Marie Lloyd whom we've seen on the stage⟳. 'The French can pronounce it too,' I said in my way, 'for what that's worth,' but he doesn't mind⟳ what I say⟳ at the moment.”
