"Stop nagging at me!" yelled the irate old fellow in a towering temper. "I know what I'm saying." Paternity figured largely in all his amorous fancies. He was almost blind, and the loss of his sight was accompanied by an increasing mental upset. His crazy senility took on a lewd character, expressing itself in language which scandalized or amused the community.
"It takes a heap of nagging to get old Pegleg fully worked up," said the fellows of the Fortieth that night,
Still.... There was a nagging worry that this thing was going too far. It's O.K. to claim the moon, he thought, chewing his lip, but isn't it a little risky to claim peace on earth for the Witch products? He made a mental note to call BDD&O the next morning. The audience reaction would make itself felt by then, and he could decide....
"Sometimes she's just so good to me, and then again, when she gets sore like to-night, and with her nagging and fussing at me, I don't care if she is my aunt, I just hate her." "We're going to give her a little surprise party." Beneath the lap robe his hand slid toward hers. She could feel the movement of the arm that directed it and her own shrank away.

We hadn't been there for three or four days, but now we had decided not to stand nagging by a couple of red-skinned savages, but to go and see the captain and tell him all about it. All except the proclamation Rectus wouldn't agree to have that brought in at all. Mr.
"The whole thing has been very carefully thought out." He slapped his leg and, rising from his chair, paced restlessly to and fro. "How'd you know all this?" he demanded at last and something in the nagging, overbearing way he said it woke the smouldering fires of her hate. "Mr. Jones," she said rising up to face him, "we might as well understand each other right now.
