"No matter, she found the notion of being [drug, dragged] along through life by some master plan she could only partly determine was unsettling." I used 'drug': "No matter, she found the notion of being drug along through life by some master plan she could only partly determine was unsettling." Someone suggested that 'dragged' was (possibly) more grammatically correct: "No matter, she found the notion of being dragged along through life by some master plan she could only partly determine was unsettling." I'm open to being learned.
You can use "drug along" within dialogue if you wish, otherwise it's "dragged along". Mabel shot her a look. “You mean to tell me you feel sorry for this here critter?” “You did wring its neck, did you not?” Adeline said, pitying the poor rabbit that had escaped to the safety of its burrow only to be dragged out kicking and squealing by the mongoose.
