He had with him a holy book, written, as he said, from the dictation of an angel, which he carried in tablets of bone in the nose-bag of a camel. Some chapters of this he read me; but, though the precepts were usually good, the language seemed wild and fanciful. There were times when I could scarce keep my countenance as I listened to him.
An old four-wheeler was moored in the gutter by the entrance, the horse munching in the depths of a nose-bag, the elderly driver reclining against the side of the cab, smoking and watching the pavement artist. Sisily entered the empty square to rest herself.
A cavalry-soldier lent me his battered coffee-pot with some coffee and scraps of hard bread out of his nose-bag; Garland and I made some coffee, ate our bread together, and talked politics by the fire till quite late at night, when we lay down on straw that was saturated with the blood of dead or wounded men.
"'As his obstinacy has destroyed the further efficiency of my colleague," goes on Ormsby, as he shakes down the ballots in the nose-bag, "I'll now conduct these yere polls alone. Gents who haven't voted will please come a-runnin'. As I states a moment ago, she stands thirteen for Old Monroe." "'An' I says she's twelve for Old Monroe," shouts Red River Tom, crowdin' for'ard.

The dealers in second-hand books put their boxes on the parapet.
Silver turned from gazing out of the window, and came forward expectantly, and the Kid told him to wait a minute and not be so impatience Then he climbed upon a box, got down a heavy canvas nose-bag with leather bottom, and from a secret receptacle behind the oats box he brought a paper bag of sugar and poured about a teacupful into the bag.

My hoss 'Long Tom' I called him he layed down as soon as I off-saddled him, an' stuck his face into his nose-bag an' eat layin' down.
"My hock's half as big as a nose-bag." "Don't let them have a look at the ball, if you can help it. Now leave me alone. I must get all the rest I can before the last quarter." He hung down his head and let all his muscles go slack, Shikast, Bamboo, and Who's Who copying his example. "Better not watch the game," he said.
