"Well," said Barbara, rising, and speaking quickly in a low voice, "of course the whole family, including Addie and Hee, can troop down there if they want to, but I think it's too bad that I can't do a thing in this family without being tagged by a bunch of KIDS!" The door closed behind her; they could hear her running upstairs.
The traveller tagged Leon and told him what a fine fellow he was, how smart he was, and to prove it, Leon boasted about everything he knew, and showed the man all over the farm.
"Well, don't shoot, and I will," soothed the chuckling voice. "My, my, it certainly is a treat to see a real, live Prairie Queen once. Beats making them to order " "We'll omit the superfluous chatter, please." Jean looked him over and tagged him mentally with one glance.
"Ah there, my beauty! any room for dead-heads to-night?" Patsy turned to his questioner, closed his train-book and held out his hand: "Always room for the Irish; where are you tagged for?" "The junction." "But we don't stop there." "I know, but I thought Moran might slow her down to about twenty posts, and I can fall off I missed the local."
To this system of religion were tagged several subaltern doctrines, which were entertained with great vogue; as particularly the faculties of the mind were deduced by the learned among them in this manner: embroidery was sheer wit, gold fringe was agreeable conversation, gold lace was repartee, a huge long periwig was humour, and a coat full of powder was very good raillery.

Indeed, to a two-year-old child it would have been apparent that Nelly and the red-headed chap were interested in each other. As a matter of fact they did not speak a single syllable until they had gone around the floor one complete turn and the dance was coming toward an end. It was he who spoke first, gloomily: "I shouldn't have done it; I shouldn't have tagged him!"
It was hard to wait, but we made ourselves do it so everything would come about quite naturally. She took her bonnet and wrap up to put them away, and we three tagged, as softly as if we had pads on our feet, like cats. She opened her door and gave one bewildered glance, then she turned and saw us. "It's yours, Lovey, every bit!" we told her. "Darlings, I couldn't!" she said.
But Betty flatly refused to stay in the house without Bob. She tagged sleepily after him while he carried water to the horses and cows, bedded them down and littered the pig pens with fresh straw. He bolted the doors of the barns and hen house and made everything snug for the night.
Why just this: there was Lord Harold Gray, the real Lord behind the scenes, bringing the Lady who was really only a chorus girl to the show in his automobile; helping her dress like a maid; holding her box of jewels as he tagged after her like a big Newfoundland; smoking his one cigarette solemnly and admiringly while she was on the stage; poking after her like a tame bear.
