rag bag

My mother had cut out the divisions from various bits in the rag-bag, and my sister had done some of the seaming.

I jest tucked it in there, because I wasnt goin upstairs to my rag–bag then, and knew it would be safe.

I had my fit of woe up garret on the fat rag-bag, and then put my papers away, and fell to work at housekeeping.

"Of course, our present spelling is but a rag-bag of lawlessness," I replied, for I was growing fond of my description of it.

There is not a thought in my mind that you shall not know--bad, good, and indifferent--if you care to turn out the rag-bag.
