But I have got hold of that antique davenport she's been dying to capture." One of the boarders at the hotel over to Harniss had been out antiquing a week or so afore and had bagged a contraption which answered to the name of a "ginuwine Sheriton davenport."
If any Parisian anarchist does me the honour to read these jottings, I beg to inform him that while I remained in office under the Government of France there was never a time when I did not know the exit of each of these underground passages, and could during any night there was conference have bagged the whole lot of those there assembled.
I felt friendly, but the British haven't more tact than you can pick up with a knife out of a plate of soup. "'The honest truth, he says, 'is that you've wounded about ten of us one way and another, killed two battery horses and four mules, and oh, yes, he said, 'you've bagged five Kaffirs. But, buck up, he said, 'we've all had mighty close calls' shaves, he called 'em, I remember.
I now found that Richarn had loaded the gun with twenty mould shot instead of ball; these were confined in a cartridge, and had killed her on the spot. I had thus bagged five antelopes; and, cutting off the heads of the bucks, we left the bodies for the natives, who were anxiously watching us from a distance, but afraid to approach.
It seemed as though no one had been in it since the day when the furniture was bagged up with as much care as if the house was to be overwhelmed with lava, and discovered a thousand years hence.

I recognised a group of Catalan sailors by their brown jackets embroidered with shreds of gaudy cloth, their red night-caps, and the redicillas in which their hair was bagged.
By this time, I'd gotten the jeep around the dredger we'd come to the end of the nuclear-power plant buildings and cut off into open country. That is to say, nothing but pillar-buildings two hundred yards apart and piles of bagged mineral nutrients for the hydroponic farms.
"'Pon my soul, that's true!" said the aide-de-camp. "Positively, hit or miss, Horace has been going on, firing away with his wit, pop, pop, pop! till he has bagged how many brace?" Horace turned away from him contemptuously, and looked to see whereabouts Lady Davenant might be all this time.
Those who have been raised to the business use this argot to such an extent, that a stranger finds it as impossible to understand them as he would if they were speaking in a foreign tongue. The Detectives' Manual gives a glossary of this language, from which we take the following specimens, to be found in that work, under the head of the letter B.: Badger. A panel-thief. Bagged. Imprisoned.
He looked to where Barby was pointing and saw a good-sized sand bar extending out under the water. "I see it, Sis. Thanks. It will be a while before we get there." Jan smiled at him. "Going to try again?" "You bet I am. Got to catch up with you somehow." Jan had bagged a ten-pound rockfish underwater on the day before, and they had baked it in a driftwood fire on a beach at Poplar Island.
