Now and again the two poor nags seemed to wake up and trot for a little space, though gasping for breath, when they had some detail to record which no doubt moved them to rapture; they expatiated complacently on the virtues of Catherine of Sweden or Robert de la Chaise-Dieu, who as soon as they were born cried for sinless wet-nurses, and would suck none but pious breasts; or they spoke with ravishment of the chastity of Jean the Taciturn, who never took a bath, that he might not shock "his modest eyes," as the text says, by seeing himself; and the bashful purity of San Luis de Gonzagua, who had such a terror of women that he dared not look at his mother for fear of evil thoughts!
"Why, we made an agreement this very morning whereby friend Leonard is going to take over the whole property and everything belonging to it not you, my dear, of course," this to his wife, "I mean the nags and the cows and henceforth this house belongs to you." "Don't forget to invite the countess to Hidvár for the vintage festival," whispered Hátszegi to his wife.
"It is a true saying, and we must therefore bait our horses and give them a short breathing time, or they may break down before we reach our journey's end." "Might we not push on without stopping, and trust to the animals to keep up their strength to the last?" asked Berthold. "They are both good nags and sound in wind, and can manage a pretty broad ditch when pressed at it."
"She nags at me that dreadful, George," he once said, as he sat in his old arm-chair, with his head hanging wearily on his chest, "that I don't know where I am or what I'm doing. As for the workhouse, I almost wish I was there." She would go also to Poppins' lodgings, and there quarrel with her old friend Polly.
From that time, master Jack and his companions had a scampering life of it, for we all rode them between school hours, and on holiday afternoons; and you may be sure schoolboys' nags are never permitted to suffer the grass to grow under their feet.
The two old folk rode fast and pressed their nags whatever Ralph might do to give them pastime of words; so they came into the plain field of Upmeads two hours before sunset; and King Peter said: "Now I account it that I have had one day more of my life than was my due, and thou, son, hast added it to the others whereas thou didst not promise to bring me hither till morrow."
We can expect the screech of this helpless tool to fill the land as his desperate master nags him on in the revolution that is coming.
Gustav's horses were the poorest, and no power in the world would have induced the head man or Erik to drive them, let alone the farmer himself. The bailiff knew it, and saw how the men were enjoying themselves when Gustav's nags were put in.
"Just one or two," answered Barker, "generally on wheels." "Wheels?" "Yes. Trotting. Ag'd nags in sulkies. See how fast they can go a mile," explained the Duke. "Lots of shekels on it too, very often." At last the evening came, and Claudius appeared in Barker's room arrayed in full evening-dress. As Barker had predicted to himself, the result was surprising.
From the green bench under the poplar, the tavern porch on Main Street could just be seen; and at a little before twelve Jonas's lean, shambling nags drew up before it. Mrs. Richie was very pale. David, fretting at the dullness of the morning, asked her some question, but She did not hear him, and he pulled at her skirt. "Does everything grow?" "Yes, dear, yes; I suppose so."
