This experience is making England over again. There never was a more interesting thing to watch and to be part of. There are about twenty American organizations here big, little, rag-tag, and bobtail. When we declared war, every one of 'em proceeded to prepare for some sort of celebration.
"Oh, I'm going to seek my fortune!" said Billy Bobtail. "May I go, too?" said the sheep. "No," said Billy Bobtail. "Yes, I will," said the sheep. "Well, then, come along," said Billy Bobtail. So the sheep followed on after Billy Bobtail. They went along a little way farther and met a pig. "Wee, wee, wee!" said the pig. "Where are you going, Billy Bobtail?"
"You 'd find it easier ter git your rents, squire, if you only sided more with folks, an' wa'n't so stiff," suggested the youth. "A little yieldin' now an' then " "Never!" roared Mr. Meredith. "I'll have no Committee of Correspondence, nor Sons of Liberty, nor Town Meeting telling me what I may do or not do at Greenwood, any more than I let the ragtag and bobtail tell me what I was to buy in '69.
In fact, it was necessary that we should be early, as there was a host of cockney and other sportsmen, who always sallied forth from Marlborough on that day; and as the manor was not large the ground was generally pretty thickly occupied before sun rise on the first of October; for it will be recollected that, on these gala days, "tag, rag, and bobtail," all had leave, whether they were qualified or not, and all who professed to be sportsmen hurried there, whether they had certificates or not.

When the repast was nearly over, Mr. Lord glanced at his son and said unconcernedly: 'You have heard that Nancy wants to mix with the rag-tag and bobtail to-morrow night? 'I shall take care of her, Horace replied, starting from his reverie.
That Jefferson was able in the face of this victorious and discouraging army to form a great party out of the rag-tag and bobtail element, animating his policy of decentralization into a virile and indelible Americanism, proved him to be a man of genius. History shows us few men so contemptible in character, so low in tone; and no man has given his biographers so difficult a task.
Saloon-keepers, store-keepers, traders of all kinds, and the rag-tag and bobtail that always flock to a new camp were on the move so soon as the ice went out.
Bellingham interrupted, "the archdeacon will rush forth and pelt that expert with Shepherd Kings and Seqenen-Ra and the whole tag-rag and bobtail of the seventeenth dynasty. Oh, there'll be wigs on the green, I can tell you." "Yes, I expect there will be quite a lively little skirmish," said Miss Bellingham.
At last he spoke slowly: "Your advice may be good, but before I reply, pray turn yourself around." Poor Reynard saw that he was found out. He dared not refuse to do as he was told, so he turned about. What a shout the foxes gave! Poor bobtail could not say a word.
"How do ye put on the feathers?" A is a far-flying steel-pointed bobtail, very good in wind. B is another very good arrow, with a horn point. This went even better than A if there were no wind. C is an Omaha war and deer arrow. Both heads and feathers are lashed on with sinew.
