Yet the English and Anglo- Irish go on patching, and have carried this art to a remarkable pitch, putting wool or bagging on fustian, or the reverse it's all the same to them. But the true, transplanted Irish hardly ever patch except in the extremest necessity, when the garment would otherwise fall apart. Ordinarily the rags of the shirt protrude through the rents in the coat or trousers.
The old gentleman even went so far as to order for himself a new suit of broadcloth, saying by way of apology that, "though the jeens coat and bagging pants did well enough for Josh, they wouldn’t answer nohow for the father of Mrs. Dr. George Lacey." A week before the wedding Florence, who loved dearly to be in a bustle, came laden with bandboxes and carpet bags.
The conversation eventually turned to tigers. "Johore's the place for tigers," the Englishman remarked, pouring himself another peg of whiskey. "The beggars are as thick as foxes in Leicestershire. You're jolly well certain of bagging one the first day out." "I've always wanted a tiger skin for my smoking room," commented the American.
Mark Sampson was alone in the deserted house. Bound hand and foot, stripped of his clothing, and attired in some old garments that the tramps who made a hanging-out place of the old mansion had cast aside, the unfortunate lad was stretched on a pile of bagging, his heart beating partly with fear and partly with rage over a desire to escape and punish the scoundrel responsible for his plight.
In the opinion of little Lieutenant Pink the fighting should have been over and done with yesterday, and the 17th Midlanders should be 'bagging' the Maharajah's artillery by now. Little Lieutenant Pink was spoiling for the fray. So were the men, most of them. They wanted a change of diet.
"Let me, therefore," continued the governor, "consider as to what person shall be chosen for the task of bagging this wary game." And he was silent, seeming to be considering in his mind, but really, I thought, waiting for the useful Montignac to suggest some one.
Tea, coffee, sugar, rice, spices, bags and bagging here have their home. And there are haughty bonded warehouses filled with fine liquors. From his white cabin at the top of a venerable structure comes the dean of the salt-fish business. "Export trade fair," he says; "good demand from South America." One of the pleasantest things in the world is "going a journey" but few know it now.
Colonel Sommerton saw this, and it added an enfeebling increment to his mental torpor. "Fellow-citizens," he presently roared, in his melodious bass voice, "I am proud of this honor." He was not sure of another word as he stood, with bagging trousers and sweat-beaded face, but he made a superhuman effort to call up his comatose wits.
I wanted to steal a march upon my friend, and show him how smart I was by bagging a fat young `gobbler' for breakfast. "As soon as I had got round the house, I saw the turkeys a large `gang' of them. They were out in an old corn-field, feeding upon such of the seeds as had been dropped in the corn-gathering.
I had no doubt he was right from the appearance of the opening, the boughs on either side being broken down, and the ground being trampled by the feet of large animals. Though I might have been somewhat proud of "bagging" an elephant, as Stanley would have called it, I had no great wish to encounter one.
