"You hear me, and mark what I say-an old stager, ma'am!
"Somehow Good"
William de Morgan
You've played like an old stager; every fellow says that."
"The Crimson Sweater"
Ralph Henry Barbour
A may be better than B to-day; but A may be an old stager hardened in certain faults, and of whom no hope can now be entertained that he will suddenly reform.
"Boating"
W. B. Woodgate Commentator: Harvey Mason
