Examples
“We shall never be able to claim⟳ any credit as a physiognomist again, for, after a careful scrutiny of this gentleman's countenance, we had come⟳ to the conclusion that it bespoke nothing but conceit and silliness, when our friend with the silver staff whispered in our ear that he was no other than a doctor of civil law.”
