New words to me

Here are the words from the third short story 'Suffer the Little Children'. The story overall was very interesting in the way the author used descriptive writing in an attempt to paint very clear and precise images in the readers mind.
gimleteyed
perusing
furtively
innocuous
cinderblock
schoolmarms
bulbous
curtly
lavatory
snigger
hypocrisy
festering
elongate
tallow
senility
coolly
qualms
vulpine
curdy
charring
elongated
usurped
sexton
mimeograph
grotesqueness
bereaved



I will put up the definitions of these words later today/over the weekend.
