Examples

“Harriet was one of those, who, having once begun, would be always in love⟳. And now, poor girl! she was considerably worse from this re-appearance of Mr. Elton. She was always having a glimpse of him somewhere or other. Emma saw⟳ him only once; but two or three times every day Harriet was sure just to meet⟳ with him, or just to miss⟳ him, just to hear⟳ his voice, or see⟳ his shoulder, just to have⟳ something occur⟳ to preserve⟳ him in her fancy, in all the favouring warmth of surprize and conjecture.”

“If Mr. [Thomas] Campbell's poetry was of a kind that could be forgotten, his long fits of silence would put⟳ him fairly in the way of that misfortune. […] [T]he re-appearance of such an author, after those long periods of occultation, is naturally hailed as a novelty—and he receives the double⟳ welcome⟳ of a celebrated stranger and a remembered friend.”

“It is the fate of sequels to disappoint those who have⟳ waited for them; and my David, having been left to kick⟳ his heels for more than a lustre in the British Linen Company’s office, must expect⟳ his late re-appearance to be greeted with hoots, if not with missiles.”
