Examples

“He was gliming at her from closer range now, and in her position—for he held her still—she could not help⟳ but glime back. He looked so humble—penitent for once, yet reproachful, his own⟳ eyes moist, and, withal, the old, audacious David, that in her own⟳ despite her anger waned.”

“And on Sunday evenings, while the Primitives were singing a hymn outside their chapel before going in for service, she would be tripping past, lightly shod, and wearing a hat with an ostrich feather, on her way to town, where a German band played sacred music on the promenade, and young people, walking arm-in-arm, laughed and "glimed" at each other under the gas-light.”

“A silence falls in the four-wheeler for the rest⟳ of the road home. Felix looking straight ahead and concentrating on his driving. The girls asleep in each other's arms on the back seat. And me occasionally gliming in the rear-view mirror. The dark eyes of the Romany woman.”
