"On the 1st August he sold the buggy and bought the remains of an old sulky said he just wanted to see those green Tennesseans stare and gawk when they saw him come a-ripping along in a sulky didn't believe they'd ever heard of a sulky in their lives.
Miss Francis, her toothpick suspended, stood in rapt contemplation. At the end of thirty minutes the spray was turned off and the containers rolled back into the car. Except for the artificial dew upon it, the moor looked exactly as it had before. "Well, Weener, are you going to stand there and gawk for the next twentyfour hours or are you coming back with us?"
He laughed and laughed till the tears ran down his cheeks, and the old hag was screaming with rage. "You gawk! Come and drive a wedge into the crack so that I can get my nose out," she bawled. "Here I have been for twice a hundred years and no Christian soul has come to set me free." "If you have been there that long it will not hurt to stay a bit longer," said the youth.
Barton felt as if she held Dublin under her satin shoe. Alice was her only trouble. What would she do with this gawk of a girl? But soon even this difficulty was solved, for Harding came up and asked her if he might take her to get an ice. 'How absurd we looked dressed up in this way, said Harding; 'look at that attorney and the court sword.
The unfortunate object looked nervously around for the beautiful "cousin," and noted with a sigh of relief that she had disappeared. "I hope she did not see my meeting with uncle," he thought. "I was always a gawk in society, and to-night seem possessed with the very genius of awkwardness.

It pleased Lucy's vanity to have him gawk at her as he did. "I think I can find out something about this gentleman," she said.
"Bertie, this is me worthless old dad." And Patrick, though he was sidling and side-stepping with the awkwardness of a cat on wet ice, still retained his Celtic self-possession. "Lave Mart to slander the soorce av aal his good qualities," he retorted. "He was iver an uncivil divil to me after the day he first thrun me down, the big gawk."
The plane went on, descending. Joe craned his neck, and then he was ashamed to gawk. He looked ahead, and far away there were white speckles that would be buildings: Bootstrap, the town especially built for the men who built the Space Platform. In it they slept and ate and engaged in the uproarious festivity that men on a construction job crave on their time off. The plane dipped noticeably.
After a while he came to the log where his brothers had seen the hag with her nose caught in the crack, and there she was still, for no one had come by in the meantime to set her free. He stood and stared and stared, for it was a curious sight. "Oh, you gawk! Why do you stand there staring?" cried the old hag.
Incidentally Judith was turning the situation over in her own good- natured mind. "I would just like to see that gawk get Jane wound up in her miseries," she told herself, while Janet Clarke hunted for stray tennis balls in the hedge. "Jane is such a dear with sympathy that this girl's very crimes would appeal to her in compassion. No-sir- ree!"
