Examples
-
The church was gradually deserted -- the appearance of the pastor was no longer a signal for every hat to be lifted from the head; on the contrary, boys of sixteen or seventeen years of age would lean against the church, or the walls of the churchyard, with their hands in both pockets, and a sort of leer upon their faces, as though they defied the pastor on his appearance -- and there would they remain outside during the service, meeting, unquailed and without blushing, his eyes, cast upon them as he came out again.
The Poacher Joseph Rushbrook Frederick Marryat 1820
