Of afternoons, therefore, when recitations were over and his muscles ached for exercise, he donned his old farm hat and went, stepping in his high, awkward, investigating way around the town unaware of himself, unaware of the light-minded who often turned to smile at that great gawk in grotesque garments, with his face full of beatitudes and his pockets full of apples.
"Last evening I heard from Stidmann that Wenceslas is to pick him up at eleven this morning to go on business to Chanor's; so that gawk Hortense will be there alone." "But after such a trick as that," replied Lisbeth, "I cannot continue to be your friend in the eyes of the world; I shall have to break with you, to be supposed never to visit you, or even to speak to you."
She rose from the bed, and stole to the window. "Mr. Evatt, I'm so frightened, I don't dare," she whispered to the figure standing below. "Wait till to-morrow night! "Nonsense!" said the man, so loudly that Janice was more cared than ever. "I told ye it must be to-night. Come down quickly." "Oh, please!" moaned Janice. "Dost want to be the wife of that gawk?" demanded Evatt, impatiently.
"You don't suppose I'd stand around like a gawk, staring at people!" "But is it for fortune?" repeated Grace, freeing her hands from the dough and coming up close. "Yes, it's for fortune, if that's what you call it," said Richard bluntly. "I'm tired of Mossvale, and I'm going to strike out, that is if I can get consent.

"No, she's a faithful thing, the boy's nurse. And the kid's my young brother a great gawk of a boy for his age, a regular bean-pole." "It's so hard to tell anything about people if you can't see them. I wouldn't have thought he was so big. Is he about fourteen or fifteen? He speaks so low and gently; he might be any age." "And a man's height pretty near too big to lick, though he needs it."
The lad stopped and stared at her, and she looked so funny to his mind that he laughed and laughed till his sides ached. "You gawk!" screamed the old hag. "Come and drive a wedge in the crack so I can get my nose out. Here I have stood for twice a hundred years, and no Christian soul has come to set me free." "If you have stood there twice a hundred years you might as well stay a while longer.
That done, the servants applied themselves to bringing in various comestibles under covers, through which could be heard the hissing of hot roast viands. In particular did the "gawk" and the "thief" work hard at their tasks.
But at the same instant Little L is up and out of his place, over to his brother's side, at whose place, next to Long K, he seats himself, whose hand he grips and smashes with all the force of his body against the wooden form, so that the long gawk cries out with pain. "Then he grabbed Little L by the neck and the two now began regularly to fight in the middle of class.
"'Deed, mistress," said the girl, "I was thinkin' there wasn't a sheet at one of them to match mine for whiteness. I'd 'a been ashamed to be seen in the like of theirs." Bridget may have been a gawk, but she did two things which were not gawkish.
