Usage examples of hake.

Mat was watching Hake as if he suspected some trap, but he gave no sign of wanting to give up The Dancing Cartman for a bed under a hedge.

When Hake nodded at them, their eyes shifted to Rand and Mat, flat and expressionless.

The way Hake carried on, screaming and shaking the woman involved, he always considered it her fault, and the teary eyes and stammered apologies said she was willing to accept his opinion.

The women jumped whenever Hake frowned, even if he was looking somewhere else.

And he could not see how Hake could give them any trouble while the common room was full, and getting fuller.

As they were stepping down from the low platform, Hake came bustling up, anger twisting his narrow face.

He wondered if Hake had decided he wanted the sword and the flute badly enough to forgo keeping the crowd in the common room.

Later, Mat mouthed, and they gathered their things under the watchful eyes of Hake, Strom, and Jak.

As long as the common room was full of people, Hake could not send Jak and Strom after them, but as long as the common room was full of people they could not get away without Hake knowing.

Mat glared at Hake, at Strom, at Jak, without a care to whether they noticed or wondered why.

All those eyes looking at him: Hake and Jak and Strom like vultures watching a sheep caught in a bog, Gode waiting like something even worse.

Gode cornered Hake for a moment, and Hake called one of the women to show him to a room.

If Hake had already locked the back door, running now would only begin what he was hoping to avoid.

Only the lamp Hake carried, silhouetting Jak and Strom, gave him the courage to keep on.

Hake and his bullies went through, and he followed quickly, before they could have a chance to set a trap, but Hake merely lifted the lamp high and gestured at the room.
