touter

"Dine at the Restaurant de l'Empire, Messieurs," shouted a shabby touter in a blouse, thrusting a greasy card into our faces.

Roger, the touter, recognised his lordship, as he made his way slowly through the mob along the side of the market.

The hardware-man looks as if he might be 'touter' to a broken-down brigand.

Touter, a looker out, one who waits at railway stations and steamboat piers, and touts for customers; a hotel runner.
