Sidewalk sellers

Usage examples of hawkers.

These tales, carried through the streets by the beggars and hawkers, repeated at dinnertime by Madame Quenuble, Eliste had initially dismissed as wild rumour.

A broad, paved square surrounded the keep, but only a hundred paces from the wall lay streets full of people going about their daily business, aproned shopkeepers out under the awnings in front of their shops, rough-clothed farmers in town to buy and sell, hawkers and tradesmen and townspeople gathered in knots, no doubt to talk about the surprise visit from the Amyrlin Seat.

There were no hawkers or peddlers in the streets, and even the shops seemed subdued, with only small signs and no wares displayed outside.

Street peddlers rubbed elbows with merchants who had brought wagons in from the inland villages and would not go out again until winter had come and gone, hawkers with their trays called to the passersby, Falmen in embroidered cloaks brushed past farm families in heavy fleece coats.

The hawkers already had their wares on display and shoppers were making their way around the stalls, inspecting the goods offered for sale.
