The Americans, standing with their arms crossed, glance at one another, shrug and shake their heads.
The snap of dialogue, the crossed glance, the coarse texture of fabric and feather, wood, and leather all coalesce to make these some of the brightest and best characters I've encountered in a long while.
Dressed in bluejeans, a white ski sweater and basketball sneakers, Power sat on his chair with his fingers crossed, glancing forlornly at the scoreboard when his team fell behind in the second half.
"Inquilab," he shouted, and the crowd hollered back, "Zindabad": "Long live the revolution!" Kejriwal sat with his arms crossed, occasionally glancing at his BlackBerry but otherwise looking stone-faced into the crowd.
However, Derry continued to produce all their pressure in front of an attendance of less than 900 spectators and they took the lead on 16 minutes as Morrison's pinpoint crossed was glanced to the net by McEleney.
After ten minutes of hurrying the visitors' defence into a succession of errors, the former Fleetwood Town striker latched onto a Marc Albrighton cross, glancing his header beyond Costel Pantilimon before somersaulting towards the corner flag.
Barry was again first to the cross, glancing on to Ross Barkley who, despite injuring his foot early in the game, unleashed a powerful drive that Caballero parried into the path of Funes Mori.
His cross glanced off the head of James McPake to land at the feet of Griffiths at the back post and the striker smashed the ball into the back of the net.
The full-back Aaron Taylor-Sinclair got caught out by Joselu, whose cross was glanced home by Crouch.
Scott Griffiths' cross was glanced home by Cullen before Luke Guttridge almost doubled the lead from distance.
After leaving the post office, I crossed Seventh Avenue, glanced back, and saw that the woman I'd seen in the post office had made it only a third of the way across the crosswalk.
