But the thought kep a naggin' me stiddy, and then here is the curious part of it the thought nagged me, and I nagged Josiah, or not exactly nagged; not a clear nag; I despise them, and always did.

The thought of Mary V lying unconscious, stricken by the sound of his voice over the telephone, nagged at him persistently and unpleasantly.

"I suppose your old boozing mate's wife was very happy when he reformed," I said to Mitchell. "Well, no," said Mitchell, rubbing his head rather ruefully. "I suppose it was an exceptional case.

Olga Mihalovna remembered her cousin, a lively young officer, who often used to tell her, laughing, that when "his spouse nagged at him" at night, he usually picked up his pillow and went whistling to spend the night in his study, leaving his wife in a foolish and ridiculous position. This officer was married to a rich, capricious, and foolish woman whom he did not respect but simply put up with.
The reader knows that the present writer has no great confidence in the principle of Carmen; but if she had been married, and her husband had wrecked an insurance company and appropriated all the surplus belonging to the policy-holders, I don't believe she would have nagged him about it.
