Usage examples of boq.

They were leaning in the archway to Boq's room, a pell-mell clot of them, backlit by the oil lamp in the study beyond.

If Avaric was annoyed enough, then Boq's nannyish worrying might backfire and goad Avaric into going there.

Since he passed the exams, Boq was free to plan one last year at Briscoe Hall.

Ama Clutch registered out loud that they were Masters Boq, Crope, and Tibbett, meeting Misses Galinda, Shenshen, and Pfannee.

And since there was no hope in changing them, Boq abandoned the impulse to correct his friends.

Elphaba met Boq's eyes from time to time, grimacing, but she ignored Avaric, to whom she had taken an instant dislike.

In her anger she was beginning to regain some control, even though, Boq guessed, damage had been done for good.
