Examples
“For a while I sat quiet, my heart beating. The place⟳ was grimly dark. The only light⟳ was a faint one from the top of the lamp which threw a white circle on the high ceiling, except the emerald sheen of the shade as the light⟳ took its under edges. Even the light⟳ only seemed to emphasize the blackness of the shadows. These presently began to seem, as on last⟳ night, to have⟳ a sentience of their own⟳.”
“The science of animal sentience is far from a firm one; there's no way of knowing exactly what any animal is feeling.”
