A nervous circle of diplomats stood ready with their pails.

The silent circle of soldiers around him stood ready, their blades shining in the moonlight.

A circle of armed guards stood watching them, bayonets fixed.

A large circle of guests stood around and listened to the talk.

In their shadow stood a small circle of grass shelters.

The circle of druids stood on the mound, where all could see them.

In Japan a circle stands for peace and harmony.

The circle stood alone in the valley between two low hills.

The circle stood up and started to walk away, heads lowered.

When he took his hands down from his eyes, a circle of tall, silent figures was standing around him and the fire.
