““A tight little craft,” was Austin’s invariable comment⟳ on the matron;[…]. ¶ Near her wandered her husband, orientally bland, invariably affable, and from time to time squinting sideways, as usual, in the ever-renewed expectation that he might catch⟳ a glimpse of his stiff, retroussé moustache.”

“A hint of the truth broke on him after Sedan, when he saw⟳ the dyed moustaches of Napoleon going grey; another when he entered Paris, and saw⟳ the smashed windows of the Tuileries.”

“Ivan, the confidential man with the scar and the moustaches, came out of the house like⟳ a cannon ball, and came racing across the lawn to Valentin like⟳ a dog to his master.”

“Small, well-knit, fair, he sat stroking his slight blond moustache and looking at her with kindly, almost tender eyes; but he left it to his sister and the others to draw⟳ her out and fit her into the pattern.”

“Crabbe caught the eye of the oboist, an ancient man with dignified moustaches, and mimed that they were going round to the front, to watch⟳ the real thing, the shadows.”

“The Stan Lee fly⟳, or Daptolestes leei, which is said to share⟳ his characteristic sunglasses and white moustache”

“In this example, the first is a string of text that contains the name⟳ property in double⟳ curly brackets (or “mustaches”)—this is the syntax for a tag.”
