Note
The final b doubles before the ending, so the spelling is tubbed, not tubed. That is the usual pattern for a short verb ending in one stressed vowel and one consonant. The form does two quite different jobs. When it means setting plants or goods in a tub, it always takes an object (tubbed the ferns). When it means bathing, the object is optional: he tubbed the horse, or simply he tubbed before dinner.
