Then she leaned forward over the horn of the saddle, and smiled down into the unclean face gawking up at her. "How'd you fancy looking after my horses and saddle and things? I mean just look after them for me, and nothing else?" The boy's eyes lit. "Bully!" he cried eagerly. "That way I wouldn't have to wash lousy clothes for the bunkhouse.
Pelton. He's had another of those heart attacks " Cardon swore and ran for the descending escalator, running down the rotating spiral to the executive floor and jumping off into the gawking mob of Illiterate clerks crowded in the open doors of Pelton's office.
Both noticed that the clerks seemed excited one was talking over the desk telephone, while others looked excitedly into trays and boxes. Presently it seemed that all eyes were directed toward Dorothy. She felt the implied charge instantly, and her face crimsoned. "What are they gawking at?" asked Tavia aloud, with her usual recklessness under excitement.
You'll be on hand to-night, won't you, Macdonald?" The blacksmith made no answer, but turned to Sandy and asked him savagely what in and -nation he was standing gawking there for. Why didn't he go outside and get things ready for the tire setting? What in thunder was he paying him for, anyhow? Wasn't there enough loafers round, without him joining the ranks?
Shall we sit gawking while a boy gropes his way out of a man's life, back through forty years, and puts his head in shame and sorrow against a mother's breast?

Already, at the ago of sixteen, Samuel Soligen was a good three inches taller than his father, at least ten pounds heavier. The boy was bright of eye, toothy of smile, gawky as only a teen-ager can be gawky, and obviously the proverbial apple of his father's eye.
"That's no reason for you to stand here gawking! You've got to go and tell her. She wouldn't listen to me; but you're a man and his friend. You can make her see the injustice of it all. She's to blame as much as mamma. This never would have happened if it hadn't been for her shillyshallying." Lord James paused before replying, his clear gray eyes dark with doubt and indecision.
It shocked him, and, shocking him more than by a thousand laboured words of explanation, it opened a window in his disordered brain. He stood gawking with the effort of thought, hardly conscious of his mother's cry: "Christopher, I never meant you to know!"
Anyone in Boyce's position knew what that meant. It meant about thirty gawking, gaping people for whom he didn't care a hang. Why hadn't Anthony asked the Boyces to dine quietly with Edith and himself with me thrown in, for instance, if they wanted exotic assistance? Let me try, I said, to fix matters up.
