stoop

1 I had worked upon my hands and knees, stooped it seemed for days, fortifying Breed’s and Winter’s Hills, raising works upon the scarred streets of Roxbury near Boston Neck.

2 The lean, pretty woman I knew as a boy has become a small, slightly stooped, cute, feisty old lady.

3 But on this day the stoop had no stoopers.

4 "Yo, Needles," Noodles said in his usual gruff tone as soon as we got to the stoop, "you partying with us or what?"

5 He dripped down the hall, across the stoop, through Mrs. Cobb’s front yard, past the picket gate, and most of the way home.

6 As I was thinking this I saw an old servant woman stooping over the same low table gutting a fish, looking at me from the corner of her eye.

7 After a while he came outside and sat on the stoop and watched us play.

8 Vega stooped to get a better look at her St. Nick buildings.

9 Old women gossiped and laughed as they sat on project benches or by tenement stoops, where they once played as children with no backyards—yes, they were happy too.

10 I stooped under Dad’s arm where it rested against the door frame and walked into the house.

11 They both remembered deciding to stop for a minute on the way to Sherm’s house, sitting together on a stoop.

12 The bearded schoolmaster was stooped, and his face was lined.

13 He waited on the stoop until twilight, pretending to watch the sun melt into the dirty gray Harlem sky.

14 She did not stoop towards me, but only gazed, leaning back in her chair.

15 The village hag, she was a tiny, stooped woman with a dull red mark on her right cheek and wayward hairs upon her chin.

16 He reached the spot and, stooping, picked up the shining thing.

17 She smiled as she stooped down to pick it up.

18 I then stood on them while I stooped over and picked the cotton bolls.

19 He had to stoop to pick it up.

20 It has a potted plant on the stoop.
