Usage examples of oban.

I glanced across at Oban and was disconcerted to find his pale, unblinking eyes on me.

I turned to DCI Oban, who was sitting apart, with a blank expression on his large, soft, slightly florid face.

We all sat, slightly awkwardly, with Rosa and me side by side on the sofa, while Oban pulled over the chair so that he faced me.

The next day, when I went into Stretton Green for a meeting, Oban gave me a hug, which made me feel more like a favorite niece than a professional consultant.

I broke off because Oban was now leading me through the open-plan office, which looked a bit as if a burglar had got in recently--filing cabinets with all their drawers open, files lying scattered on a table, cardboard boxes half filled with stained mugs.

There was a slight buzz and Oban, big ham that he was, paused, visibly savoring the moment.

So what did I expect of Oban and Furth and the rest of the men, and a very few women, in suits?

But the following day Oban told me, rather casually, I thought, that Doll was in hospital.

I thought it was a particularly fruitful idea but because Oban pressed me into x.

At that moment, the door swung open and Oban pushed his head into the room.

I said, moving toward the door where Oban was waiting, his great weary brow puckered with anxiety.

It would have been nicer outside, even on this gray day, but Oban was obviously more comfortable in the car.

I sat in the car next to Oban, while he swore and sweated and told me for the hundredth time that it made no fucking sense.

I glanced briefly at Oban to see if he wanted to add anything to my bald statement, but he was sitting perfectly still, staring down at his hands, which were resting on the kitchen table, as if he was trying to remember a fragment of a dream.

We pulled in at the police station and Oban leaped out and set off at speed so that I had to run to keep up with him.
