Examples
“The suddenness with which the solemn quiet had been broken in upon, had chaced from his remembrance the horrid phantom;—it now recurred to it, with two-fold force⟳, and a shudder crept all over him.”
“The suddenness of this shock⟳ must prove⟳ irresistable; the Count⟳ and those about him will be borne down; the rest⟳ will take⟳ to flight; the friends of Bernabò will rise⟳ and liberate his sons, while I seize one of the gates and secure a retreat […]”
“"Well," said the Duc, with that outward calmness of manner which anger often affects; "so you do not like⟳ me? I am sorry for your bad taste⟳! and I bid you good night, quite convinced that you will repent your refusal; and I dare say⟳ you will never get⟳ married at all." So saying, he left the terrace; while Francesca remained for a few minutes, bewildered by the suddenness of the scene, and half inclined to laugh⟳ at the Duc's parting denunciation.”
