Our parents listen to me as if I were uttering fine things out of a book; and my dear mother, Heaven bless her! wipes her eyes, and says, 'Hark, what a scholar he is! As for the monks, if I ever dare look from my Livy, and cry 'Thus should Rome be again! they stare, and gape, and frown, as though I had broached an heresy.
"Well, it's no use you and me seeing which of us can gape the longest if we mean to get to Glencorse before the light goes," said Ellen. "We'd best step forward. I'm glad you like the place. I love it. And this bit of the road's bonny.
There are periods in the lives of some of us I trust but of few when, with the silent inner voice of suffering, we call on the mountains to fall and crush us, and on the earth to gape open and take us in. When, with an agony of intensity, we wish that our mothers had been barren.
On that fever-stricken part of the coast of the great island of New Britain, lying between the current-swept headland of Gape Stephens and the deep forest-clad shores of Kabaira Bay, there is a high grassy bluff dotted here and there with isolated coco-palms leaning northward to the sea beneath, their broad branches restlessly whipping and bending to the boisterous trade wind.
Wherefore do ye instruct the King with counsels that he cease to sin against the Gods in the pride of his heart. And do thou that art his mother go to thy house, and take from it such apparel as is seemly, and go to meet thy son, for the many rents that he hath made for grief gape in his garments about him.

Darsie, these are my young friends of whom I have spoken.
Finally he sat down by the players, looked at the cards, gazed at the face of one and another, and after a while began to gape, and to feel that it was wearisome, the more so, as the hour was already long past when he usually went to bed. He wanted to take leave of the host, but they would not let him go, saying that he must not fail to drink a glass of champagne, in honour of his new garment.
The Don nodded his satisfaction at this, and then Moll, awaking with the sudden outburst of her father's voice, gives first a gape, then a shiver, and looking about her with an air of wonder, smiles as her eye fell on the Don.
You should ha' seen how he gaped when I wouldn't put the knife away." The men were listening, crediting him. Old Slade, in the background, took his pipe from his lips. "An' now I suppose you're satisfied," he inquired harshly. "How d'you mean, satisfied?" demanded Conroy, coloring. "You saw what happened, didn't you?" "You made him gape," said Slade. "That was because he made you howl, eh?
The same instant, back to the ear of his mind came his father's two words, as he had heard them through the window "Up Daurside." "Up Daurside!" Here he was upon Daurside a little way up too: he would go farther up. He rose and went on, while the great river kept flowing the other way, dark and terrible, down to the very door inside which lay Sambo with the huge gape in his big throat.
