Every age is sure of its own fleas without poking over the rag-bag of the past; and of all things, a superstition has the least need of proving the antiquity of its pedigree, since its very etymology is better than the certificate of all the Heralds' Colleges put together. We are surprised that so clever and lively a man as Mr.
In fact, they were all three exceedingly, almost disreputably, shabby. They looked more like tramps than respectable gold-miners. "Tom, you are looking very ragged," said Dick Russell, surveying our hero critically. "I know it, Dick. I feel as though I had just come out of a rag-bag. I can't say that you look much better, nor Ferguson either." "This rough work is hard on clothing," said Russell.
"I honestly hope you'll come to-night, Tip, for you're a good fellow to play games with, and the boys would all like to have you." Tip had quarrelled with his ill-humour, and it had vanished. "I'll come," he said, in a cheery tone; "only I'll look like a big rag-bag by the side of you fellows." "Never mind," said Howard, turning to join the boys, "you come."

And then she said to two chubby-legged princes, who were sturdy though small, 'Bring me in the royal rag-bag: I must snip and stitch and cut and contrive. So these two young princes tugged at the royal rag-bag, and lugged it in; and the Princess Alicia sat down on the floor, with a large pair of scissors and a needle and thread, and snipped and stitched and cut and contrived, and made a bandage, and put it on, and it fitted beautifully; and so when it was all done, she saw the king her papa looking on by the door.
"Why, it is Miss Barlowe and her crowd. I don't know yet what they were representing." "The 'White Company, of course," declared Elfreda. "There would be no satisfaction in being 'Sherlock Holmes' if I couldn't solve all these puzzles." "Then live up to your reputation and tell me what famous work of fiction this approaching rag-bag represents," laughed Miriam.
"Yes, to be sure," replied Susy, faintly, though not without a pang, for she still retained a childish fondness for jujube paste, and was not allowed a great abundance of pocket-money. "Yes, to be sure, let the little girls have our share." "Then may we three youngest have the whole rag-bag?" said Prudy, brightly.
