2 She did not stoop towards me, but only gazed, leaning back in her chair.
3 The two ladies, their brother, Mr. St. John, the old servant, were all gazing at me.
4 The maniac bellowed: she parted her shaggy locks from her visage, and gazed wildly at her visitors.
5 I had nowhere seen such faces as theirs: and yet, as I gazed on them, I seemed intimate with every lineament.
6 Holding my hand in both his own, he chafed it; gazing on me, at the same time, with the most troubled and dreary look.
7 I renewed the fuel, re-arranged the bedclothes, gazed awhile on her who could not now gaze on me, and then I moved away to the window.
8 But presently she took my veil from its place; she held it up, gazed at it long, and then she threw it over her own head, and turned to the mirror.

15 I should not shrink from you with disgust as I did from her: in your quiet moments you should have no watcher and no nurse but me; and I could hang over you with untiring tenderness, though you gave me no smile in return; and never weary of gazing into your eyes, though they had no longer a ray of recognition for me.
16 When I turned from it and repassed the trap-door, I could scarcely see my way down the ladder; the attic seemed black as a vault compared with that arch of blue air to which I had been looking up, and to that sunlit scene of grove, pasture, and green hill, of which the hall was the centre, and over which I had been gazing with delight.
