Examples

“I should not, however, so much mind⟳ if this folly [of giving children poetic names] were comprised in that domain of cold gentility, to which affectation usually confines itself. One does not regard seeing Miss⟳ Arabella seated at the piano, or her little sister Leonora tottling across the carpet to show⟳ her new pink shoes. That is in the usual course of events.”

“It may be that the days o' fine follow⟳ ane anither fast; or that the foul times linger likewise. But in the end⟳, the figures of fine and foul tottle up, in accord wi' their ordered sum.”
