peacocking

The King and Queen, it was said, did not like this peacocking, but might not help it.

Tourists as nuns, tourists as Turks, tourists as God-knows-what, all preening and peacocking!

For Charlotte had come in with a platter, and Nan turned about, peacocking before her unsurprised gaze.

What did she want with that peacocking—wasting time and money; there was nothing in it!

And Aunt Hannah in her enraged scorn even undertook a grotesque and mincing imitation of the peacocking aforesaid.
