But Milly was not a nagger, at least not with men.
"One Woman's Life"
Robert Herrick
A nagger, a shrew, a cat, a piece of human flint, a thankless wretch, whose whole selfish body isn't worth the tip of his little finger."
"Capt'n Davy's Honeymoon 1893"
Hall Caine
The Manx sailor's wife-she who had so behaved that it was impossible for him to live with her-she who was a cat, a shrew, a nagger, a thankless wretch, a piece of human flint, a creature that should be put down by the law as it puts down biting dogs-she whose whole selfish body was not worth the tip of his little finger-was no one else than herself!
