Wraggled

...his long legs were partially covered with corduroy trowsers, the bottoms of which were wraggled by wear and tear, and on the knees of which were two broad patches of new stuff differing in color from the original;

On examining the under side of the lid carefully with a glass at the time, I could make out two or three holes or places where the silk lining of the lid was raised and wraggled, irregularly placed towards the centre of the lid, as if they were the marks of the hooks of the spider's claws, but not very distinct, as the texture of the silk was rather coarse and open, and certainly not so regular, nor placed round the edges, as shown by Moggridge, in one of his beautiful sketches.

No. 3 though hinged acrss has a protuberance slightly developed on the under side of the lid in the centre of the hinge area the same as No. 2, suggesting the idea that possibly the two hinges in that nest may have been caused by the locking effect of the protuberance as it is increased in size, but there is no evidence of unfinished or wraggled edges in No. 2 indicative of the separation having been effected by such a wearing process.
