Chapter 1: Section 7: Page 57: Line 4 (985)

"all silently staring"
This isn't about just being searched for some museum piece; it's all about the audience gathered to observe and witness Merle's secrets exposed. The group being both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time means all who know Merle and those who don't act as witness to his sins. Or revelations. Maybe he isn't exposing sins! Merle's probably no Lew Basnight!
